Any attempt to weaken Waqf will be resisted: Mirwaiz Umar
Srinagar News : Hurriyat leader and Kashmir’s Chief Cleric Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Monday said any attempt to weaken the Waqf or “disempower” the Muslim community would be “resisted”.
Delivering a sermon at the revered shrine of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jeelani in Khanyar Srinagar today Mirwaiz said “Muslims are closely watching it, and any attempt to weaken the Waqf or disempower the Muslim community would be resisted”.
On the Waqf Amendment Bill, which has been referred to the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC), Waqf, by definition being a trust of Muslims, should involved the community in such decisions.
About the working and management of Jammu and Kashmir Waqf board, Umar acknowledged that accountability of institutions is very important.
Expressing concern over the challenges faced by Muslims globally and domestically, Mirwaiz spoke about the grave situation and suffering in Palestine, expanding to the Middle East, which is painful not only to Muslims but all humanity.
He also raised concern about the plight of Muslims in India being “harassed” and living under constant “fear”.
He pointed to incidents of “lynching” of Muslims, “bigotry”, and so-called “bulldozed justice” razing their homes and mosques and urged the rulers of the day to cease “discriminatory policies” targeting the community and treat them as equal citizens.
