Government declares farm lands as Waqf property: BJP stages Statewide protests
The Opposition party also demanded the sacking of Waqf Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan from the Cabinet. The BJP has decided to go ahead with the protests despite Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday directing officials that all notices issued to farmers be immediately revoked and any unauthorised amendments in land records without due notice must also be nullified.
In Mysuru, BJP activists staged a protest in front of Deputy Commissioner’s Office on Bannur Road in Siddarthanagar as part of its Statewide agitation.
Addressing the protesters, State BJP OBC Morcha President Raghu R. Kautilya accused the Government of altering land records to classify farm land as Waqf property. He strongly condemned the State Congress Government for issuing notices to villagers across the State, claiming that their lands belong to the Waqf Board.
He demanded an immediate halt to the notices regarding alleged encroachments and called for the removal of Waqf Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan from the Cabinet. Raghu also insisted that the Government must issue a Gazette notification to withdraw the notices to farmers.
