Owaisi Challenges TTD’s Non-Hindu Agenda

Owaisi Stand on TTD’s Hindu-Only Policy

AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi recently criticized the government over TTD’s decision to maintain Hindu-only administration. He questioned why similar rights are not extended to the Waqf Boards, which manage Muslim properties. While the government supports the TTD’s right to exclude non-Hindus, it seems reluctant to allow the same exclusivity for Muslim boards, according to Owaisi.

TTD’s Hindu-Only Decision and Religious Equality

TTD’s administration recently announced that they intend to keep non-Hindus out of all governing positions. The decision aims to preserve Hindu values in the temple’s administration.

Owaisi Criticizes the Proposed Waqf Bill Amendment

Owaisi expressed strong disapproval of the government’s plan to amend the Waqf Bill. This amendment would allow non-Muslims to join Waqf Boards at state and central levels. It would also give district collectors the power to reclaim Waqf lands. Calling this amendment “unacceptable,” He argued that only Muslims should manage Waqf properties. He pointed out that these lands donated to Allah and should remain under Muslim control.

Allegations of Discrimination Against Muslims

Owaisi accused the government of discriminating against Muslims by attempting to alter Waqf Board regulations. He argued that if Hindus can manage their own temples, then Muslims should have the same right with their religious properties. According to Owaisi, the government’s actions only highlight a growing disparity in religious freedom.

The Call for Equal Religious Rights

Owaisi urged the government to stop creating policies that treat religions unequally. He emphasized that religious rights should be respected for all communities. By granting exclusive administrative rights to some groups while limiting others, Owaisi believes the government is dividing communities.

Conclusion: Ensuring Equality in Religious Institutions

Owaisi’s remarks highlight a debate on the management rights of religious institutions. As he sees it, religious equality means allowing all groups the freedom to manage their own spaces without outside interference. He believes the government must protect religious autonomy for all communities, not just a select few.
