BJP protests in Waqf property dispute in Karnataka
Politics has heated up in Karnataka over the Waqf Board claiming several hundred acres of farmers' land. BJP on Monday started a state-wide protest against the Congress government on this issue. BJP accused the Congress government of being involved in land jihad. Along with this, the opposition party also demanded the dismissal of Waqf Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan from the cabinet. After the announcement of the protest by the BJP, the Congress government appeared under pressure and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday directed the officials that all notices issued to the farmers should be immediately canceled and any unauthorized amendment in the land records without proper notice should also be canceled.
