Why are Muslim bodies criticizing the Waqf Bill and planning legal action
Muslim bodies are opposed to the Waqf Bill and intend to challenge it in court.
- The Muslim bodies argue that the Waqf Bill infringes upon the autonomy and religious rights of the Waqf boards, which manage charitable endowments like mosques and burial grounds.
- They believe that the proposed amendments in the bill give the government excessive control over the administration and management of Waqf properties, undermining the independence of the Waqf boards.
- There are concerns that the government's interference could lead to mismanagement, corruption, and politicization of Waqf properties.
- Muslim organizations view the Bill as a threat to the religious and cultural heritage preserved by Waqf boards, and they fear that the proposed changes could potentially dilute the Islamic character of these properties.
