Waqf Bill should be called 'looters (amendment) law': Asaduddin Owaisi
AIMIM chairman Asaduddin Owaisi on sat criticised the ruling telephone exchange authorities o'er the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, alleging it should be called a 'looters (amendment) law' as the BJP-led regime wants to take away waqf properties.“The BJP and NDA governments are doing the work of looters. They want to snatch away waqf properties,” Owaisi was quoted as saying by PTI. "Why are you removing the survey commissioner (as per the proposed bill)? It is the senior-most officer's post. This is all for looting. It should not be called Waqf (Amendment) but ‘looters (amendment) law," he added.Also Read | Waqf bill protests rock Bihar Assembly; Lalu, Tejashwi attend AIMPLB dharnaReferring to Union home minister Amit Shah's reported remarks that one cannot approach courts against the waqf tribunal, Owaisi alleged that Shah was “lying”, according to PTI.The AIMIM chief said there are several tribunals, including the Income Tax tribunal and railway claims tribunal and review petitions can be filed against its judgments in high court."Can you file (review petition) against the Income Tax tribunal?
