It is approaching on the heels of the appeal from the Council of the Catholic Bishops Council (KCBC) on political support on the draft law on the WAQF, the Catholic Church-decorated daily Parliamentaries from Kerala’s strong warning that “future generations will be responsible” if they fail to support legislation.
In its editorial office published in Deepice, the official mouthpiece of the Keral, Tuesday (April 1, 2025), Congress and CPI (M) criticize that these parties may believe that the voices of certain communities are secured while others must be regularly recognized. “Whatever the case, it does not solve secular and democratic values to fit into the WAQF shoes,” warns editorial.
They say they emphasize that those who are affected by the existing WAQF law deserve legal means, claim that if CPI (M) and Congress still do not recognize this need: “It remains to be said.”
The article emphasizes the case of Munambam inhabitants and emphasizes that the amendment is essential to ensure their justified income claims. It was in response to this urgency that the President of KCBC personally urged KERAL to support the bill.
“Those who oppose the amendment claim that even if the bill is approved, justice still escapes Munambam.
“Justice, not politics”
At the same time, the editorial also called on the BJP to ensure that the bill includes a provision that orders the return of the land taken over by the WAQF to its justified owners. “This legislative amendment should not be about politics, but about justice,” he pointed out.
The recognition of Indian Union Muslim League (iuml) MEPs Haris Beeran MEPs to attack the law at the Supreme Court, if approved, this article also tried to recall that even people from Munammam are fighting for their constitutional rights.
“None of the WAQF supporters, including Haris Beeran, have ever won the fight to wait on the door of the religious tribunal above the ground, which it bought legally,” says the editorial.
They also claim that those who face the interference with religious advice should have direct access to the Civic Courts rather than being forced to go through the WAQF court.
“No Council or Committee of any other religion has only found demands on land ownership only if they belong to them. And although such a claim has been made, it is not a religious court, but constitutionally established Civil Courts to decide on the judgment.
