Chikkamagaluru: C.T. Ravi, a member of the Legislative Council, raised concerns regarding the ownership of Wakf Board properties, drawing comparisons to the government’s control over temple properties.
Ravi argued that for a property to be considered Waqf, it must have been donated, purchased, or granted. He stressed the importance of preventing illegal and unconstitutional actions, hinting at potential amendments to the Waqf Bill.
He also criticised the perceived double standards in the treatment of Hindu and Muslim religious properties, questioning whether such practices can be deemed secular. Ravi suggested that the Act is being amended in accordance with the Constitution’s principles, indicating a push for uniformity in managing religious properties.
