New Delhi, July 2: The All India Muslim Majlis-e Mushawarat has written to Mr K Rahman Khan, Union Minority Minister, to desist from allowing the sale of waqf properties in the proposed bill. AIMMM President Dr Zafarul-Islam Khan said in his letter that such a change will open the flood-gates for such transactions and whatever is left of the waqf properties will also be swallowed up by unscrupulous elements and government agencies which are ever-ready to acquire and usurp such properties which were endowed for pious deeds and to benefit the Muslim community forever.
Dr Khan also told the minister that the move to abolish the provision of leasing waqf properties in areas with thin Muslim population like Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh will only mean to let the current leasees take control of such properties as they will never vacate them.
AIMMM President has also written to Maulana Rabey Hasani Nadwi, President of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, seeking his urgent intervention in this regard.
