Land was grabbed illegally

DID Yogin Devan get his information about the Waqt issue from his friend, Congress acolyte Sanjay Kapoor or his contacts from the anti-Hindu DMK of Tamil Nadu, the disciples of EV Ramasamy of whom Nehru wrote: “Let him be put in a lunatic asylum and his perverted mind treated there” in a letter to K Kamraj, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister.

“Charity must not be shackled by the state”, the POST, April 16-20, refers.

All mosques/Waqt properties in India were built on Hindu land, which were either stolen (eg. Babri, Shahi Idgah, Gyanvapi and thousands of others), bestowed on Muslims by a long line of conquistador occupiers, or given as largess by the Congress party and allies like DMK to appease Muslims or retain them as vote banks. Various Congress governments throughout the years in power had allowed properties to be either acquired by the Waqf Board or looked the other way when land was grabbed illegally.

Nehru dispatched by Gandhi in 1924 to investigate communal violence in Sambhal, in his report, describes the Jama Masjid as a “fine temple” built by Prithvi Raj, and “subsequently converted into the principal mosque of the city”.

What shameless Rajiv Gandhi did with land originally reserved during partition for refugees fleeing Pakistan should be researched by Devan.
