«Across the state a new kind of 'Jihad' is happening through Waqf. Looking at the conduct of the Congress party and Siddaramaiah, they come across as hypocrites...,» Joshi told reporters here.
Congress leaders are claiming that BJP had promised in its manifesto that it will protect the Waqf properties, he said. «Yes. We had said. It is on record...what we have said is existing Waqf properties that have been encroached upon and looted by senior Congress leaders will be saved.»
«They (Congress leaders) have taken illegal gratification worth thousands of crores (of rupees) from these lands, in the form of lease and rent,» Joshi alleged.
The Anwar Manippady report says that Waqf properties have been misused by very senior Congress leaders, Joshi said. «We had said that we will protect those lands. What are you (Congress govt) doing now? lands of Mutts and temples are being claimed by Waqf. I'm asking Siddaramaiah, what are you trying to do?»
