The Council of the Lower Parliament in India issued a controversial bill transferred by the Hindu government to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to amend the ruling Islamic Endowments It is worth more than 14 billion dollars.

the Bill Bell It would add non -Muslims to the councils that run the endowments and give the government a more important role in verifying their lands. The endowment refers to personal property – moving or unstable – i.e. I donated permanently by Muslims For religious or charitable purposes.

BJPANATA (BJP) argues that the proposed changes in the endowment law in 1995 will help fight corruption and mismanagement while enhancing diversity.

But Muslims are afraid that the step will leave the endowment characteristics – historical mosques, shops, shrines, cemeteries and thousands of acres of land – more vulnerable to exports, conflicts and demolition.

On Wednesday, he conducted a hot debate on the endowment bill in the House of Representatives in the lower country of parliament, as the Congress -led opposition against Muslims described it.

However, the Bharatia Jatata Party, with the help of its allies because it lacks the majority of seats in the lower parliament of Parliament, managed to pass the bill with 288 members voted for its favor and 232 against it early Thursday.

The draft law is discussed in the Parliamentary Senate on Thursday. If it is approved, it will be sent to President Drubadi Mirmo to agree before it became a law.

One of the most controversial changes in the endowment bill is the rules of ownership, which can affect hundreds of mosques, shrines and cemeteries because many of these properties lack official documents as they were donated without legal records, and even centuries ago.

Many Indian Muslims are afraid that the Hindu national government will reach greater control of Islamic property, especially at a time when attacks have become more frequent and aggressive under Modi. Muslims often target everything from their food and clothes to marry religions.

“A blatant violation of constitutional rights”

In India, the endowment properties are spread over nearly one million acres (about 1562.5 square miles), or nearly twice the size of Mauritius. They are taken care of by 32 government -raising panels in the country’s states and union regions in the country.

The councils in each state include government candidates, or Muslim lawmakers (current, or in the event that none of them are available, former lawmakers), scholars, and careers (“” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “Mutawallis”). All that should be Muslims.

During the parliamentary debate on Wednesday, Interior Minister Amit Shah said that non -Muslims will be included in the endowment councils only for administration purposes and to help the Endowment Administration smoothly. He added that they were not there to interfere in religious affairs.

“the [non-Muslim] Members will monitor whether the administration operates according to the law or not, and whether or not donations are used or not. “

In a publication on X, Rahul Gandhi, the main opposition leader, said that the draft law is “a weapon aimed at marginalizing Muslims and raping their personal laws and property rights.” He warned that the draft law was “aiming at Muslims today, but it sets a precedent to target other societies in the future.”

Shah said: “We do not fear Muslims, because you fear Muslims. I say that there is no citizen in this country, regardless of religion, will be affected.”

The Council of Muslims in India (AIMPLB), a leading Muslim organization in India, rejected the draft law, describing it as “violating my discrimination, societal motives, and beating the constitutional rights of Muslim citizens.”

The organization said that this proposed step will lead to the erosion of the independence of the endowment panels, and it calls on citizens to hit the streets if the bill is passed in Parliament. AIMPLB also said it would take the matter to the courts.

“There is nothing wrong with reserving two jobs in the endowment plate for non -Muslims, but does this mean that Muslims will obtain a similar reservation in the Hindu temples councils?” Kamal Farwoy asked AIMPLB official. “The Moody government wants to control the Islamic Land Bank and they have no right to undermine our institutions.”

Hindu right -wing groups have already submitted a demand for many mosques throughout India, on the pretext that they are based on the ruins of Hindu temples. It was the sixteenth century mosque It was demolished by the Hindu mob In the Northern Indian city of Iowia in 1992 and many of these cases are suspended in courts throughout the country.

Muslims, who make up 14 percent of India’s 1.4 billion population, are the largest group of minorities in the country of Hindu. It also found a 2013 government poll.

The 2006 report from the SACHAR committee by the government urged a comprehensive reform of the endowment and real estate control panels to generate higher returns to the Islamic community.
