Families in Talapuzha, Wayanad, face Kerala Waqf Board notices claiming their land as Waqf property, igniting fears of further action and prompting demands for government intervention.
Karnataka High Court has stopped an attempt to grab yet another property by the state's Waqf Board. The Karnataka High Court has ordered the Waqf Board to take the subject matter to the Waqf Tribunal.
Karnataka Government's Principal Secretary, Revenue Department has written to all Regional Commissioners and District Commissioners related to the Waqf issue.
Karnataka Waqf and Minority Affairs minister Zameer Ahmed Khan slammed the opposition BJP in state for row over waqf notice to farmers and alleged that it was "projected differently."
In this spirit, they suggested a legal provision to allocate some benefits from waqf properties to soldiers or their families. This proposal was met with opposition from several MPs of opposition parties.
