After Madrasas, UP Govt To Conduct Survey of Waqf Properties

Amid the ongoing survey of madrasas in Uttar Pradesh, the Yogi Adityanath led BJP-government has directed the district magistrate and commissioners to undertake a survey of all the Waqf properties in the state.

The state government on Tuesday repealed a 1989 government order that mandated automatic registration of high or mounded land, barren land, Usar land as Waqf property. It has directed to re-examine the documents of all the properties which have been registered under Waqf since April 7, 1989 and to record the status of such lands.

According to the directive, the cemetery, mosque and Idgah land should be demarcated properly. Based on the 1989 ordinance, many such properties which were Usar, Banjar and Bhita in the revenue records were also declared as Waqf properties.

Meanwhile, the opposition strongly reacted to the state government’s decision, calling it a bid to “entangle people only in Hindu-Muslim issues”.

Calling out the Yogi Adityanath government over its decision to survey Waqf properties Samajwadi Party Akhilesh Yadav was quoted by India Today as saying, “We are against the survey of Waqf properties by the state government. It should not be done. This government has to entangle people only in Hindu-Muslim issues. People who survey madrasas will make India a 1 trillion dollar economy?”

This move comes amid a controversy surrounding an ongoing survey of private madrasas in Uttar Pradesh.
