Why Waqf Act could be dangerous for Bharat’s future, and must go

The Indian State has unwittingly created a very potent weapon which could be used against it. If there is one piece of legislation which must be urgently scrapped, it is the Waqf Act One of political Islam’s most ruthlessly efficient skill sets is not just to convert people, but also to grab other’s land, property, places of worship, and even entire nations. But what is more dangerous and has the potential to create mini-Gazas within India is the land grab at an industrial scale which the Indian Constitution has enabled under the Waqf Act, 1995. But in 1995, to compensate for the Babri Masjid demolition of 1991, the PV Narasimha Rao-led Congress government changed the Waqf Board Act to give waqf boards unlimited rights to acquire land. Only three things are certain in an Indian’s life — death, taxes, and that, knowingly or unknowingly, he ends up walking every day on Waqf land.” As if all this was not enough, the outgoing Congress government in March 2014 just before the Lok Sabha elections, knowing defeat is inevitable, gifted 123 prime properties in the Capital to the Delhi Waqf Board by using the Waqf Act.
