The amended Waqf legislation will put a stop to “land jihad” in the country, BJP’s Telangana MLA T Raja Singh has asserted. Addressing a Ram Navami procession on Sunday, he claimed that “land jihadis” had been having a tough time since the formation of a “saffron government” in India.
“Those who used to put up a board (on a land parcel) in the name of ‘land jihad’ by issuing a Waqf notice, as if it was the property of their father, would no longer be able to install such boards because Prime Minister Narendra Modi has passed the Waqf (Amendment) Bill,” Singh said.
