REVIEW WAKF BILL: RESTORE MUSLIM OWNERSHIP

May/June/July 2011 (New Delhi): After extensively studying the proposed Wakf Bill, ZFI feels there is a need for significant review to protect India's Rs. 120 billion (i.e. US$ 26 billion) valued Wakf Lands.

Numerous Joint Parliamentary Committee recommendations have been ignored without any mention by the Ministry of Minority Affairs. So have numerous Sachar Report recommendations.
