Kerala Catholic Bishops Council supports Waqf Amendment bill

The Kerala Catholic Bishops Council (KCBC) has called on the state’s Members of Parliament to back amendments to the Waqf Act, describing certain provisions as “unconstitutional and unjust.” In a statement, the KCBC emphasized the need for a resolution to the Munambam issue. “The Farook College management, which sold the land to the residents of Munambam, has asserted that the land in question was received as a gift. MPs should cooperate to amend the Waqf bill which has provisions to raise claims against this,” the release stated.
