Maulana Shahabuddin said, “I thank all the MPs who voted in favor of this bill. I also congratulate the Government of India that he took this bold step.”
He pointed to the disturbances spread in the Waqf Board, saying that earlier the chairman and members of the board, along with the land mafia, used to sell crores of land or grab themselves.
He said, “Waqf makers were intended that the income from his property was spent on poor, destitute, widows and orphans Muslims. But this was not happening. This money was not happening. The people of the board used to put it in their pockets. Now we hope that there will be some good change in the economic situation of poor Muslims.”
Describing this bill as a step towards transparency and improvement, Maulana said that it would prevent misuse of Waqf properties and it will be used correctly for the weaker sections of the society.
