Wakf Properties Unsafe Under TRS Rule: Shabbir

Hyderabad, June 24 (Maxim News): Senior Congress leader Mohammed Ali Shabbir has alleged that the TRS government has failed to protect Wakf properties in the State.

Speaking to mediapersons after submitting a memorandum to State Wakf Board Chairman Mohammed Saleem following a dharna held by the Congress workers at Haj House, Nampally on Monday, Shabbir Ali said the Congress had staged a protest over encroachment of Wakf properties belonging to Toli Masjid. He said the Wakf Board Chairman gave an assurance in December 2018 that Toli Masjid and its 27 acres land would be taken under Direct Management of Wakf Board. He had also assured to demolish all illegal structures and restore encroached land.

The Congress leader said KCR regime would be held responsible for destruction and loss of Wakf properties in the State. Hundreds of Wakf properties have been lost due to deliberate negligence of TRS Govt. He said properties belonging to Toli Masjid have been encroached upon and no action has been taken. Similarly, he said, the precious land belonging to Chinti Shah Masjid was not restored despite waging a legal battle. TRS Govt also committed the sin of demolishing Ek Khana Masjid in Amberpet.

The Congress leader said, “KCR Govt was cheating the Muslim community since 2014. Muslims did not get promised 12% reservation in jobs and education. Minorities Welfare is now limited to Iftar party and distribution of saris or a pair of clothes worth Rs 200 each”, he alleged. (Maxim News)
