Asaduddin Owaisi slams Modi govt at AIMPLB protest: ‘Waqf Bill aims to snatch Muslim graveyards, dargahs’

Live Mint  

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief Asaduddin Owaisi claimed on Monday that the Waqf Bill is intended to snatch away graveyards, khanqahs, dargahs from Muslims. This Bill is not for saving Waqf property, not for removing encroachers but for ending Waqf property, for snatching away graveyards, khanqahs, dargahs from Muslims,” Owaisi said during the protest at the national capital's iconic Jantar Mantar. The AIMPLB, the apex body of Muslim clerics in India, organised the protest against the Waqf Bill, terming the proposed legislation a “direct attack” on Muslims and would pave the way for the "usurping" of Waqf properties. The Union Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved the proposed amendments to the Waqf Bill after incorporating changes recommended by the Joint Parliamentary Committee.
