Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused the Waqf Board of grabbing land of temples, villagers and others in Karnataka and asserted that it was time to make changes in the body and amend the related Act. He said that no one can stop the implementation of the UCC, which is “needed to check infiltrators”, and assured tribals that they would be kept out of its ambit.

Hemant Babu and Rahul Gandhi say no. I tell you let them oppose it, the BJP will pass the Bill to amend the Waqf Act. No one can stop us,” Shah said while addressing a poll rally in Jharkhand’s Baghmara. He also accused the JMM-led coalition of making infiltrators into its vote bank.
