Congress opposes Hindu members on Madhya Pradesh Waqf Board, plans Supreme Court challenge

Wait 5 sec.

Madhya Pradesh reorganised its Waqf Board, adding two Hindu members to the ten-member committee. Congress leaders have criticised this move, calling it inappropriate and vowing to challenge it. Ruling BJP leaders defended the decision, stating the board is not solely for mosques. The Waqf Board chief affirmed the reconstitution followed all legal provisions. This move marks the first state-level Waqf Board to appoint Hindu members.
