NC denounces move of setting up of 2 separate Waqf Boards in J&K, Ladakh

Srinagar, Mar 3 (UNI) The National Conference on Wednesday took strong exception to the announcement of the Union Minority Affairs minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on setting up of two separate Waqf Boards for Sunni and Shia sects in Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, terming the measure unacceptable and gross interference into the religious affairs of Muslim Community.

Criticizing the announcement, NC spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar said the move will create further discontent among people. “The proposed move is unacceptable as it amounts to interference in our religious affairs. Waqf boards are part and parcel of the social and cultural life of adherents of Islam and therefore inappropriate for the central government to interfere. As a matter of our stated policy we deem it highly inappropriate for the governments to butt in religious affairs. Our party has been consistent in its view that the waqf bodies should be allowed to work autonomously bereft of any control from the government,” he said.
