Illegal Madrasa Demolished in MP’s Panna Post-Waqf Bill Enactment
In a significant move following the passage of the Waqf Amendment Bill in Parliament, authorities in Panna, Madhya Pradesh, demolished an illegal madrasa deemed to be operating in violation of the new regulations. The bulldozer action marks one of the first enforcement measures under the amended law, signaling stricter oversight of Waqf properties in the state.
A case of bulldozer action on an illegal madrasa has come to light in Panna district of Madhya Pradesh. After the Waqf Bill was passed, a complaint was made about the illegal madrasa. After the complaint, the operators themselves demolished this illegal madrasa. It is being said that this is the first such action after the Waqf Bill was passed. The reason for the bulldozer action on the madrasa has also come to light.
Notice was received on the complaint of BJP President
A Muslim man had complained about this illegal madrasa. After receiving the complaint, VD Sharma also complained. After receiving the complaint from the BJP state president, the officials served a notice to the operators regarding the illegal madrasa. After receiving the notice, the operators themselves called a bulldozer and got it run on the madrasa.
Giving information about this matter, the administrative officer said that a notice was sent to the madrasa operators. After the notice, bulldozer action was to be taken on the madrasa. Even before the administration could take action on the madrasa, the operators started demolishing it. The madrasa operators themselves called for a bulldozer and started demolishing the madrasa.
Illegal Madrasa demolished
According to the information received, an illegal madrasa was operating in Panna's BD Colony for the last 30 years. Many notices were issued continuously in the last few years, but the madrasa operators did not follow them. Recently, after the Waqf Amendment Bill was passed, a notice of strict action was sent. After this, the madrasa operators themselves called for a bulldozer and started demolishing the illegal madrasa.
Bulldozer action under New Waqf Amendment Act
On this matter, the madrasa operator claimed that he had received permission from the local Gram Panchayat from the very beginning. The operator said that this area comes under the Municipal Corporation, so the construction has been considered illegal. He said that this matter was going on in the court for the last several years, but after the change in the laws recently, the officials had sent a notice, after which action has been taken.
BJP state President has also given a statement on this matter. VD Sharma said that some people from the Muslim community had come to him and complained about immoral activities on the acquired Waqf land. He said that with the coming of the Waqf Amendment Act, such misuse can now be stopped. He said that now such properties will be channelized and the money earned in different ways will be invested for the development of the minority community.
