Uddhav Thackeray Alleges After Waqf BJP Will Eye Church, Jain, Buddhist, Temple Land Too

MUMBAI: Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday alleged that after making amendments to the Waqf Act, the BJP would now take away the lands of Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists and Hindu temples and hand these over to their “friends”. The remarks were made after Organiser, the RSS mouthpiece, claimed that Catholic churches owned more land than the Waqf board in India.

Thackeray was speaking to the media on Sunday at the launch of ‘Shiv Sena Sanchar’, the party’s IT and communications wing. “Hindu temples have a lot of land,” he said. “Many feel that these temples are with the government. They (BJP) will take the land and hand it to their friends. They have no love for any community. Their love is for land. They first snatched land from Muslims, next, they will target Hindus.”
