New Delhi: In a shocking betrayal to the Muslim trust, none other than the custodian of Muslim Waqf properties specially the mosques in Delhi, Counsel for Delhi Waqf Board Wajeeh Shafiq has reportedly pleaded before the honorable Delhi High Court for demolition of the ancient Madina Masjid bearing Khasra No 484 situated on Mathura Road near Delhi Public School in the heart of national capital.
The Board’s dubious plea sought the demolition of the said Masjid on the grounds that its face lift has been done without the Board’s permission. This argument even astonished the honorable chief justice Mr.Rajendra Menon who has been hearing the case along with his colleague Justice Kameshwar Rao at around 11:30 a.m. today on 15 Thursday .
The value of the land attached to the mosque is estimated at around Rs 3,000 crore rupees.
A wave of anger is seen among Muslims of Delhi specially those who have been praying and contributing for the development of Madina Masjid for years.
It’s been reported that L&DO (Land and Development Office) Govt. of India has already occupied 2.5 acre of the frontal graveyard land of Madina Masjid with the alleged connivance of Delhi Waqf Board and the same counsel is said to be involved in the matter. The present chairman of the Delhi Waqf Board Mr.Amanatullah Khan was not available for a comment.
When Muslim Mirror asked Adv Wajeeh why did he seek the demolition of the Masjid? He said that ‘some Tufail Khan claimed in the court that the Masjid and its campus belongs to his family ‘, but he refused to share any documents against Tufail Khans claim.
‘How can a Masjid become a personal property? This Masjid is 500 years old.I am just managing its affairs from last 30 years. I have given this in written to court several times, told Tufail Khan to Muslim Mirror.
The value of the 32 Bigha land including Madina is situated on the prime location of New Delhi is estimated at around Rs 3,000 crore.
Muslims are oblivious to the loot in their rightful Waqf property by the leaders and governments…robbers working together for money.
This could be used for musjids, charitable Muslim hospitals, schools, libraries, green parks for children and elderly, etc.
We want pray in babri masjid but we lossed so many masjid where we were free for pray. mostly our iconic leaders are doing these for his economic strength. which one we select for safety those leader forget why they select me.
I request MIM and Owaisi ji to set one All India Waqf properties reclamation cell and rally local muslims around each in support as well as movement throughout India. People will surely join and contribute also. We must weed out rogues from Waqf Trustees. There must be fear and pressure working on the scoundrels. Mehmood Madani is happy with his MPship not doing anything on this front. It is high time we have new leadership.

Waqf Property loot is the biggest land scam of our time. We must hold the waqf board responsible for it. or else we will lose every masjid madrasas and dargah. All properties of Muslims in Delhi is the target of Modi government.it’s time we rise and defend our heritage.
