Delhi: The Government must take Muslim organisations
into confidence before passing the Waqf Amendment Bill 2010 and
should give an assurance to protect over 4 lakh acres of Waqf land
across the country, influential Islamic outfit Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind
said today.
Maulana Arshad Madni, president of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, also asked
the Government to abandon its plan of bringing Waqf land under
National Minorities Development and Finance Corporation as it was
"unacceptable" to them.
"We will not accept any such flawed bill which does not give an
assurance of complete protection of 4 lakh acres of Muslim 'Aukaf'
or Waqf land spread all across the country and which does not make
sure that revenue generated through the Waqf land will be used
only for the benefits of Muslims," he said.
