Srinagar, April 2:
Peoples Conference President and MLA from Handwara Sajad Lone has voiced strong opposition to the proposed amendment to Waqf laws, terming it an attack on the religious rights of Muslims.
Taking to X, Lone remarked, “Waqf by definition is the custodian of properties which are collectively owned by Muslims. It is an Islamic concept.”
He said the move by Parliament amounts to a direct assault on the religious autonomy of Muslims.
“The proposed amendment by Parliament is a blatant interference in our faith aimed at divesting rightful custodians of their authority,” he asserted, calling it “yet another right-wing trespass.”
