Ex-MP Prathap Simha questions Waqf Board’s notice to farmers
Mysuru: The ongoing controversy related to Karnataka State Board of Waqfs notices to farmers seems to have ignited the BJP leaders who have expressed their displeasure over the issue.
Speaking to the media persons at Jaladarshini Guest House here this morning, former Mysuru-Kodagu MP Prathap Simha reacted strongly to the controversy and said, it was important to know details of the lands belonging to Waqf Board.
“Were the lands claimed by the Waqf Board gifted to them by Akbar, Aurangzeb, Jinnah or the Mulla of Saudi Arabia? They have been claiming the ownership of lands according to their whims and fancies. The Board has claimed the 12-acre land belonging to a Ganesha temple in Hunsur and similar is the case in Chikkamagalur,” he said and asked if the Waqf Board had allowed the members of the Muslim community to plough the lands belonging to the Board.
Commenting on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s visit to Goddess Chamundeshwari and Goddess Hasanamba temples, Simha said that the CM remembers deities only at those times, when he faced troubles.
