Maha: Hindu Janjagruti Samiti describes Waqf Bill incomplete

Kolhapur, Apr 3 (UNI) Welcoming the central government's move to curtail some of excessive powers granted to the Waqf Board, the Hindu Janjagruti Samiti (HJS) on Thursday demanded that the government must seriously consider recommendations put forth by Hindu representatives before the Joint Parliamentary Committee and take corrective measures.
In a press statement, Ramesh Shinde, national spokesperson of HJS, said that while the Waqf Amendment Bill introduced by the central government has curtailed some of excessive powers granted to the Waqf Board, it still fails to fully safeguard the lands belonging to the Hindu community.
The current Bill remains incomplete and lacks the necessary provisions to protect Hindu rights comprehensively.
Shinde further said that HJS fully supports the removal of certain draconian provisions, including Sections 40, 104, 107, and 108 in the proposed Bill. As per Section 3(c), only government-owned lands will be investigated, and details of previously designated Waqf properties will be collected.
However, if lands belonging to Hindu temples, trusts, other communities and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) have been unjustly classified as Waqf properties, they will not be subject to retrospective scrutiny.
This means the Bill provides no assurance that such lands will be restored to the Hindu community, he added.
