Waqf Act 1995 (Thread)

Today we will talk about the most beautiful creation of Congress (For Muslims)

Congress gave 40% of Indian land to Muslims in 1947 but they were not satisfied with 40% so they brought Waqf Act

Let's talk about its wonderful provisions
Hold ur seats

1/22

Yes such act exists in a secular country. Even no muslim country have such act.

What is waqf system ?

Its a part of muslim brotherhood charity system.

Suppose Ahmed is 80 year old. He has two flats. Before death he wants to donate 1 flat for qaum so he donated 1 flat to waqf

As he donated now that property belongs to Allah. Waqf board is not owner but caretaker of that flat and they can use that flat for muslim school, hostel, community hall or any for muslims

So waqf is property of Allah donated for charity for muslim
It was the actual meaning

But this meaning changed with time

In 1947 hindu left their land in Pak and came to India and Muslim left their land in India and went to Pak
Pak confiscated all land of hindus in Pak and gave that land to muslims and govt but Nehru did opposite.

He said no hindu will touch

land of mus1im who went to pak.

Nehru collected all that land and gave to waqf.
Waqf board 1954 act was not as draconian but the real change came in 1995

Congress leader and PM PV Narsimha Rao brought Waqf act 1995 and gave them unlimited powers to acquire lands.

Lets talk abt the provisions of waqf act:

Section 3 (R)

What is waqf - any property for any purpose recognised by the Muslim law as pious, religious or charitable

So according to Muslim law (not Indian law) if they think that land is religious for muslim that becomes waqf

So suppose u purchased a land from Ramesh in 2010 and Ramesh purchased that land from Salim in 1965 then waqf board can claim that in 1964 Salim gave that land to waqf and now that is their land.

Now what u can do ?
U cant go to court......... U have to go to State Waqf Board

What is waqf board ?

In India there is a central waqf board and 32 state waqf board

Waqf board is a committee of govt appointed 7 people
All should be Muslim

Congress brought temple act n captured all temples and said a non hindu can also become member of temple board but

Same congress brought waqf act, kept them autonomous and made law- no non muslim can become part of waqf board

Waqf board have a surveyor who kept surveying all lands and if he thinks any property belong to waqf they can issue notice.
Section 4 gives unlimited power to surveyor

Waqf is headed by a CEO who must be muslim. Section 28 gives power to waqf CEO to order collector.

So as u get notice, u have to take all drawings, registry, paper and have to run to waqf board to convince them it's ur land
(Same board who sent u notice)

Now comes the most wonderful section of waqf act

Section 40

Allow me to post section 40 in english and hindi both so that everyone can read

Whether its ur land or waqf land it will be decided by waqf board and their decision will be final
So
waqf is police
waqf is lawyer

waqf is judge

If u cud not satisfy waqf that its ur land and u have been asked to vacate ur land. U cant go to court

U have to go to waqf tribunal court
There r only 1-2 court in every state. So u have to go capital n will have to file ur case there

Section 83 is abt tribunal

Tribunal will have 2 judges (no religion specified) n one eminent muslim. U fought ur case in tribunal n suppose u lost ur case since tribunal also have their member then what r options for u n here comes one more bomb in section 85

Section 85 says tribunal decision is final🙄

No civil court (supreme court, high court) can change the order of tribunal court

Though later this clause was stuck down by Supreme Court is Rajasthan Jindal Saw case in May 2022

SC said no court is superior than us n we can interfere in any decision.

Let's talk abt some more gems from waqf act

Section 54 and 55
If waqf board think that ur land is their land then
Waqf can declare you encroacher and order DM, SDM to remove u and they have to follow their orders

Just voww

In 2005, UP waqf board claimed on Taj Mahal against ASI though they lost case in Supreme Court

They used provisions of waqf act in Gyanvapi case also but there they also lost

Question is powerful people can hire costly lawyer n can go to Supreme court but what about common man

In Tamil Nadu waqf claimed an entire village.
Where waqf claimed that its not their responsibility to prove its responsibility of victim to prove.

Question is how there can be a religious act in a secular country
1. Why there is no such act for hindu, Christion n sikh

and only for muslim ?

2. If a Christian, sikh, jain encroach a hindu land or vica versa then they have to go civil court but if a muslim encroach the land of hindu or any other religion then hey have to go waqf tribunal ?

why this privilege to only one religion ?

Due to this draconian act, waqf has become the richest body of India with 7 lac acre property n market value of 12 lac crore

Waqf rents their land and earns crore of rupees which is used for their religious upliftment, fighting case.

govt also provide them financial supports

U can read entire waqf act 95 on Indian Kanoon website or minority ministry website

important sections : 3(r), 4,6,7,11,19,23, 23,29,30,40,77,83,85,99

Salary and allowance is provided to waqf members by waqf fund.

Waqf have administrative, supervisory n judicial powers but execution power is still with collector, DM n Police that r mostly Hindu

But as demography change happens in IAS, IPS also then waqf act will become 10 times more lethal.

Waqf act is violation of article 14 also

of Indian constitution

Indian constitution doesn't allow any act that is religious and encroach right of other religions

In 1995, Congress indirectly gave India to one community by a blank cheque
Waqf Act is that blank cheque

Amend Waqf Act 1995 now
