Parliamentary committee investigates unlawful occupation of Waqf properties across several states.

A parliamentary committee is seeking information from state governments about Waqf properties allegedly occupied unlawfully, based on a 2005-06 Sachar committee report. The Waqf (Amendment) Bill aims to reduce the power of Waqf boards to decide property ownership, which has faced criticism from opposition parties and Muslim groups. The committee, working through the Ministry of Minority Affairs, is collecting data on properties in states like Delhi, Rajasthan, and Karnataka.
