Frankly, I have been sleepless since i heard detail of #WaqfLandGrab where Waqf board can CLAIM any land as theirs while as per 1991 #PlacesofWorshipAct, I can’t RECLAIM my heritage? 🤨🤨

Why did Cong kept strengthening #WaqfAct?
1954
1984
1995

Waqf is 3rd largest owner of land in India after Railways & Army

8 lakh acres of land

6,59,877 properties

…presently registered with Waqf Board

& all this in Hindustan, after India was partitioned by Congis on religious lines

Let that sink in 🤨🤨🤨
Nehru brought Art 370 that made Kashmiri Hindus refugees in own land

Nehru brought Hindu Code Bills in 1950s to REFORM only Hindus

SoniaG brought Communal Violence Bill 2011 holding majority community H!NDUS responsible for all R!OTS

Is this Bharat jodo or Bharat todo?

#PlacesOfWorshipAct 1991 में पास हुआ, जिसके अनुसार हिंदू अपने छीने गए मंदिरों पर दावा करके वापिस नहीं ले सकते!

उसी देश में, उसी संसद ने, उसी सत्ता ने, 1995 में #WaqfAct पास किया जिसके अनुसार #WaqfBoard/मुसलमान मस्जिद, दरगाह या कब्रिस्तान की दावे की भूमि को ही नहीं,

किसी भी भूमि को अपना घोषित कर सकते हैं, इसके बाद अपील भी उन्हीं से करनी होगी, निर्णय भी उन्हीं का होगा।

उस समय देश में 80% हिंदू थे, संसद में 95% सांसद हिंदू थे, कानून मंत्रालय जो नए ऐक्ट तैयार करता है उसमें 95% प्रतिशत हिंदू थे, फिर भी ये दोनों राक्षसी कानून पास हुए।

हम हिंदू, वास्तविकता में जीवन से क्या चाहते क्या हैं?

What are our desires, expectations from life?

भूमि- वो मुसलमान छीन रहे हैं!
लड़कियाँ- वो मुसलमान छीन रहे हैं!
धन- वो मुसलमान हमसे ही लूट/कमा रहे हैं…..

और बचा क्या ??

"Places constructed in derogation of the personal law, cannot be termed as a 'place of worship'," another plea in #SupremeCourt has challenged the provisions of the Places of Worship (Special Provisions) Act, 1991.
The plea states, "Retrospective cutoff-date was fixed 15th August 1947 (of the Act) to legalize the illegal acts of barbaric invaders. Though, Hindu Law was ‘Law in force’ at the commencement of the Constitution."
