UP CM Yogi further said that we have already said goodbye to the land mafia to the state. Now mafiyagiri will not work in UP. Yogi said that in the name of Waqf, the land up to Nishadraj was captured. He said that we are thankful to PM Narendra Modi that the flaws of Waqf Act are being removed through the amendment. CM Yogi Adityanath also targeted the opposition opposing the Waqf Amendment Bill. Yogi Adityanath said that vote bank is necessary for opposition parties opposing the Waqf Bill.
Yogi Adityanath had a tone on those who opposed the Waqf Amendment Bill. Actually, the Waqf Board has described more than 57 thousand government properties in UP as its own. At the same time, during the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj, the statement of Muslim leaders came that the place is of Waqf. There was also a lot of hue on this claim. On this, CM Yogi Adityanath has retaliated today. Not only UP, there are many such Waqf boards in the country, which have been accused of illegally occupying land. Even an entire village in Tamil Nadu was told by the Waqf Board there. Whereas, there is also a 1500 -year -old temple in that village. In Bihar too, the Waqf Board has told the land of a village. The Municipal Corporation building in Surat, Gujarat was also described by Waqf. In Gujarat, Waqf claimed two islands of Bet Dwarka associated with Lord Krishna in Gujarat. There was a lot of controversy on this too. At the same time, Waqf also claimed on 1400 acres of farmers in Karnataka.
