"...land encroachment by Waqf is unconstitutional...", says BJP leader

BJP

In Delhi, the BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari has opined that Section 40 of the Waqf Act gives the power to the Waqf board to declare any property under Waqf.

"..You will have to go to the Waqf Board if you appeal. What kind of justice is this? This country runs through the Constitution, not by any religious doctrine. And in such a country, in any civil case, one has to go to the civil court...That's why it is important the amend this Act. We have seen how Waqf has tried to encroach on the lands of farmers in Karnataka...Where there is a Congress government, the lands are being given to the Waqf. It is important to stop this. The land encroachment by Waqf is unconstitutional...", he said.

He opined this amid speculation that Joint Parliamentary Committee constituted on Waqf Amendment Bill could submit its report ahead of the winter session of the Parliament.
