coffee_rules Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) The playground in Bengaluru was permitted by Mysore Maharaja to hold prayers for Muslims on 2 festivals . BBMP has claimed the property as belonging to the state revenue department. Muslims built a minar there and a burial ground as well, but kids were playing cricket there. Recently on Aug 15, state government hoisted National flag and beer heavy security with CRPF commando protection. Waqf board disputed it as their property and petitioned against Kar Govt decision to allow Ganesha festival in Idgah maidan. SC just ordered to maintain status quo for 2 days, so apparently that will mean no Ganesha festival celebration can be held there. Waqf which a Govt establishment (exec) went against its own parental organization - state government. Lawyer (K Sibal) argues that there can be no legislative powers over Waqf board. This is like autonomy given to Kashmir with A370. @Mariyam probably knows more about it as a lawyer. @ravishingravi Is this even making sense?

bharathh Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I had brought up this daylight robbery in the name of the Waqf board in an earlier thread. Makes you wonder how on earth this act was passed in the first place! Another legacy that Nehru can be proud of. The Waqf board is the 3rd largest land owner in India - after the Railways and the armed forces. The way their lawyers were arguing on tv made you want to give them 2 tight slaps. These stupid laws should be overturned immediately. Of course with the great SC it never can be. As a counter measure all public praying of muslims should be ceased and desisted. After all - if they pray there long enough - it apparently becomes Waqf property. You have people like Sibal insisting that these laws are inviolable. Apparently even SC cannot adjudicate if the Waqf asses determine a land is theirs. Only the Waqf can. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bharathh Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Btw apparently the Waqf board has been repeatedly asked to prove ownership of the land. They cannot. Usually that should be an open and shut case. But not for the SC apparently. This is actually a non-issue and the Waqf should be sent packing. Not sure what hold Sibal has over the SC. If he wants, the SC judges immediately issue stay orders, his cases get immediate hearings and dates whereas there are countless people who are waiting 20+ yrs for a first hearing on their cases. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravishingravi Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I must say. I was completely flabbergasted by this judgement. I was searching for precedence. But on different note I am reading J Sai Deepak's book. The themes we are going through are very similar to the khilafat andolan. It will be interesting to see how we get through this one. Last one led to partition. coffee_rules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently, Madras High Court ruled that a Temple procession be allowed as the petitioner said that it was a Muslim dominated area and it hurts their religious sentiments. Using the constitution to force their veto power. Another case was allowed after Iamaat gave consent. Karnataka HC allowed the same in Idgah ground in Hubbali . If it is a publication c property and not a Mosque, calling it Idgah doesn’t mean no other group can use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how patronizing the Milodus are towards the Hindu side in the order notes. “Take this as forgiveness of Ganpathi, hold puja Elsewhere, go back to high court" Wtf does that mean? Hindus can hold the puja any place or not.?who are they to tell that ? Can the RJB judgement say the same to Muslims , hold your namaz elsewhere.
