we voted against the congi mafia in 2014 and gave the guj cm an opportunity. what happened?? our lot improved? we're in a deeper mess. we dont know how modi won 2019 - vvpat data disappeared in a few months. 2024 is a botched rigging - they didnt expect to lose up, etc , so ignored those areas and focussed on some must-win places like delhi. so we're all in between devil and deep sea / rock & hard place.

[@BeReasonable-w9x]

@@LahariMathyala this is the fault of self destructive Hindus

[@perambu3441]

The Wakf Board is the third largest landowner in India. Let us know how they got so much property. During the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947, Hindus who migrated to India from Pakistan had their properties in Pakistan seized by the Muslims and the Pakistani government. But the properties of Muslims who moved from India to Pakistan were given to Waqf Boards by the Indian government. Subsequently, in 1954, the Waqf Board Act was enacted. This means that the Government of India has given its own properties to the Islamic Waqf Board but not the same amount of properties to other religious denominations in India. As a solution, the Indian government should give equal property to Hindu, Christian, Buddhist, Jain and Sikh sects or take back the property from the Waqf Board.

[@rh3465]

No you are wrong. Even now so many wealthy or medium wealthy muslims donate land for mosque. Muslims find it very noble to donate land for mosque. I dont hear news of hindus donating land for temple. Christians also donate land for religious purpose.

[@kishorebutaney6712]

Person like Anurag Bhadauria should never be called in any debate. he has no sense

[@perambu3441]

We need to understand what is the subtlety in the 1995 Waqf Act. Section 3 of the Wakf Act, 1995 allows the Wakf Board to claim property only on its "opinion" without any evidence. If the Wakf Board claims a property, the real owner of the property cannot go to court rather he has to approach the court of Wakf Tribunal. For example, your enemy abducts your wife but you cannot stop it and the police department and court will not help you instead you have to appeal to your enemy's accomplices to release your wife. The Waqf Act has now been reformed to correct such abuse of law.
