New Delhi: A
parliamentary panel Friday recommended amendments in the Wakf
board bill to stop any sale, mortgage or transfer of Wakf
properties across the country, and sought renting them out at
market rates.
In its report submitted to Rajya Sabha Friday, the panel headed by
Congress leader Saifuddin Soz recommended amendments, along with
forbidding any sale, gift, or mortgage of Wakf land.
It also said that any kind of
transfer should be done only with due approval from members.
"The committee was of view that sanction for any transfer of
immovable property should not be given unless at least two thirds
of the total membership of the board was present and at least two
thirds of total present vote in favour of such transaction," Soz
said after the report was tabled.
Along with this, any Wakf property given on rent will have to be
given on a rent at market rate.
The committee also substituted the word "an officer" for the post
of chief executive officer of the Wakf board with "a Muslim
officer".
