Essential to 'expose conspiracy' to seize waqf properties through waqf bill: Jamiat chief
New Delhi, Oct 13: Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind chief Maulana Arshad Madani on Sunday said it is essential to "expose the conspiracy" to seize waqf properties through the Waqf Amendment Bill and that a conference will be held next month to hold thorough discussions on what course of action should be taken to deal with such threats.
In a statement, Madani said the Jamiat has taken effective measures to ensure the protection of waqf properties from 1923 to 2013 and "we are moving forward with that commitment"
A grand conference of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind will be held in Delhi on November 3, 2024, to promote the spirit of equality and compassion on the basis of humanity, uphold democracy and protect the Constitution of the country, he said.
It is essential to expose the conspiracy to seize waqf properties under the guise of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, which aims to deprive us of this valuable heritage.
Madani further said the November 3 conference will see thorough discussions on what course of action should be taken to address such grave situations and threats, and a roadmap will be prepared for the way forward.
The communal mindset is making a failed attempt and a "planned conspiracy" to marginalise a specific community, he alleged.
In preparation for the conference which will be held at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium here, Madani addressed the members and representatives from various states at the Jamiat office. He emphasised the purpose and objectives of the conference, stating that the current situation in the country is unprecedented in its seriousness.
He said that in view of the series of incidents occurring one after another, "there is now no doubt that India has fallen into the grip of fascism".
Efforts are not only being made to incite Muslims by creating new controversies, but there are also planned conspiracies aimed at marginalising them, he claimed.

Muniratna should be expelled from BJP: Dinesh Gundurao
Bengaluru: Karnataka's Health Minister Dinesh Gundurao has demanded the expulsion of BJP MLA Muniratna from the party, urging the BJP to demonstrate its commitment to justice and fairness to the people of Karnataka.
Taking to micro blogging platform, X on Tuesday, Gundurao remarked, “BJP MLA Muniratna’s casteist comments against the Vokkaliga community have been confirmed by the FSL report submitted to the SIT. He not only demeaned the Vokkaliga community but also made derogatory remarks about the women of the community.”

He further alleged, “It has been established that Muniratna is not only a casteist but also a misogynist. Despite this, the BJP continues to support him, proving yet again its anti-women stance. The BJP’s backing of Muniratna exposes its hypocrisy in claiming ‘Hindus are one.’”
Gundurao also criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's slogan, "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao," calling it "ridiculous" in light of the BJP’s alleged support for individuals accused of mistreating women. He urged the BJP to take action and protect the dignity of women and vulnerable communities in the state.
