The Waqf Boards had become disproportionately powerful due to Section 40 of the Waqf Act, which allowed them to unilaterally declare any property as Waqf without requiring judicial oversight. This effectively meant that a group of people (the Waqf Board members) could claim private or public property as Waqf land, forcing the actual owners to fight legal battles to reclaim their rights.
This is clearly double standard in how certain policies are perceived and criticized. The fact that the Congress government allowed Waqf Boards to have unchecked power over land disputes without judicial oversight is indeed a major legal and ethical issue
The removal of Section 40 was essential to restore fairness in land ownership laws.
All religious institutions—Hindu, Muslim, Christian, or others—should be subject to the same legal standards.
No group should have unchecked power over property claims without legal scrutiny.
LOL, if Modi were to grant similar powers to Hindu organizations today, the entire world would erupt in crocodile tears, crying "fascism" and "majoritarianism" as loudly as possible.
