Hyderabad: ‘Save Waqf Board properties’, ALMMO protests at Dharna Chowk

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: All India Muslim Minority organization (ALMMO) staged a protest at Dharna Chowk on Friday demanding judicial powers for Waqf Board.
Members of various Muslim organisations, social activists, and several citizens participated in the protest.
Protestors accused chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao of not abiding by his statements given in the Assembly nine years ago.

They held that the dharna was to remind the CM of the promises made in his manifesto nine years ago.
Saving the Waqf properties is the motive behind the protest, a protestor said.
They further added that the Muslim minorities have been betrayed in terms of their rights and that the state government should hand over the waqf properties to underprivileged Muslims only.
Chairman of Deccan Waqf Protection Society, Osman Hajiri said that the state government had earlier promised the judicial powers to be given to Waqf Board. “However, the promise remains unfilled,” he added.
He said that Waqf land encroachments have been going on for ages, but prime properties of the Waqf like that of the Hussain sha wali Dargah, which is worth around one lakh crore, have been lost though it was under the favor of the board after an argument in Telangana High Court.

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Telangana Congress leaders on Friday were stopped from visiting the fire-hit secretariat and were detained by the police.
The fire broke out in the yet-to-be-inaugurated Secretariat complex of the Telangana government here in the wee hours of Friday.
The new Secretariat complex is set to be inaugurated by chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on February 17, which happens to be his birthday.

A total of 11 fire engines were pressed into service to control the fire, which is suspected to have been caused by a short circuit. The fire is believed to have started from the air conditioning wiring duct and spread to scrap material lying on the ground floor.

TPCC chief Revanth Reddy condemned the detention and questioned if the government held any secrets in the secretariat. “Is it KCR’s private farm house?” he asked.

The seven-storey structure with a built-up area of 7 lakh square feet and equipped with all modern facilities has been constructed at a cost of nearly Rs 650 crore near Hussain Sagar lake on the same land where the old Secretariats of Telangana and earlier united Andhra Pradesh stood.
The state government has named the new Secretariat complex after Dr B. R. Ambedkar. CM KCR already stated that it reflects the pride of Telangana and would stand as a role model for other states.
As per the schedule announced last week, CM KCR will inaugurate the building between 11.30 a.m. and 12.30 p.m. on February 17, the auspicious time suggested by Vedic pundits.
The government recently announced that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister andA DMK President M. K.

R Ambedkar’s grandson Prakash Ambedkar and other dignitaries will attend the inaugural event.
