BJP’s fight is against Waqf Act, not individuals: Basangouda Patil Yatnal

The Hindu  

MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal has said that the fight launched by BJP leaders was against the Waqf Act, 1995, and not against any individual. Speaking to mediapersons in Kongandi village of Shahapur taluk in Yadgir district on Wednesday after interacting with the farmers, Mr. Yatnal said that they were against mutation entries in the name of Waqf Board in the land records of farmers. “We will continue our struggle till justice prevails as hundreds of farmers in this village alone suffered after their land records were shown with the Board’s name,” he said. Responding to them, Mr. Yatnal said that the problem would be solved only after removing the Board’s name from RTC and abolishing the Waqf Tribunal.
