BJP stages state-wide protest against Cong govt in Karnataka over Waqf properties row

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who on Saturday directed officials that all notices issued to farmers be immediately revoked, and any unauthorised amendments in land records without due notice must also be nullified, dismissed the BJP's action as nothing but politics.

The opposition party also demanded the sacking of Waqf Minister Zameer Ahmed Khan from the Cabinet.

There were allegations by a section of farmers from Vijayapura district that their lands were marked as Waqf properties, and similar charges have surfaced from a few other places subsequently.

Bijapur (Vijayapura) City BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal, along with Union Minister Shobha Karandlaje, on Monday launched a day-and-night dharna demanding the revocation of the Waqf gazette notification, near the Vijayapura Deputy Commissioner office.
