Lucknow: Slamming Law
Minister Salman Khursheed for blocking amendments to the Waqf
Bill, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has said it
would begin a series of protests against the United Progressive
Alliance (UPA) government after Ramzan.
The decision was taken at a Board meeting here Sunday.
Board members said Khursheed's role was anti-minority and he has
never favoured the welfare of the community, spokesman Abdul Rahim
Qureshi told reporters.
The Board members were particularly miffed at the fact that when
their delegation had met the law minister some time back, he had
assured them of looking into their demands but the very next day,
he said that no amendments would be made in the Bill.
The Board members also decided to submit their demands to the
Samajwadi Party (SP) government in Uttar Pradesh and "expect" it
to incorporate their amendments in the law that the state was
planning to bring.
Some clauses of Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2010 have been opposed by
several Muslim outfits since the last two years and they allege
that the Bill ignored recommendations of the Justice Rajinder
Sachar committee. The bill proposes a series of changes in the way
Waqf properties are managed across the country.
These include compulsory Waqf surveys recommended by a Joint
Parliamentary Committee (JPC) been made optional in the bill,
dropping of suggestions of inclusion of all post-Independence
cases of Waqf for survey, non-inclusion of treatment of Waqf
survey commissioner's notification as deemed mutation for purposes
of revenue records and determination of title of property and the
fact that the ministry has allegedly diluted the definition of the
word "encroacher."
