The Commission report on the alleged scam over Rs 2 lakh crore involving Waqf lands is to be tabled in Karnataka Assembly on Tuesday. The Karnataka government appointed committee submitted the 7,000-page report to Chief Minister D Sadananda Gowda on Monday. The panel was constituted by the government in November last year following complaints and media reports on the role of politicians and Wakf Board officials in the illegal sale of land to individuals.
Chairman of the Committee and Karnataka Minorities Commission Chairman, Anwar Manipaddy said "I have submitted a report on the alleged Wakf Board land scam running into more than Rs. 2 lakh crore to Chief Minister which will be tabled on the floor of the Assembly. Apart from powerful politicians, several Wakf Board members, Wakf officials, middlemen and land mafia are involved in the scam." Mr Manipaddy declined to reveal the names of politicians involved in the scam, saying "it is left to the Assembly to do so."
According to the report, out of the Wakf Board's 54,000 acres of registered land, there has been misuse of about 22,000 to 27,000 acres. "Many middlemen, land mafia and politicians have been involved in the scam...Misappropriation of Wakf land has taken place in city areas rather than in rural areas...About 85 per cent of misappropriation has happened in city areas," he said. Mr Manipaddy said he has recommended the government to set up a high-power committee to check corrupt activities taking place in the Wakf Board and appoint a task force to retrieve Wakf properties sold illegally to "some powerful and influential people".
