- He informed that the present NDA government under the
leadership of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, has amended the arbitrary powers
of Waqf Board by omitting Section 40 of 1995 Act. He said the new law mandated
public notice of 90 days in daily newspapers before altering any land records
for the purpose of its registration as WAQF to avoid future encroachment,
violation and litigation.
