Residents in TN's Dharmapuri protest Waqf Board land claims, plan Independence Day hunger strike
DHARMAPURI: Several residents from Rajapettai, Kottaimedu, Khan Nagar and Pallagollai village from Chettikarai Panchayat claimed several parcels of lands cannot be sold as the Waqf Board has laid claim to the properties as per the Waqf (Amendment) Act. They threatened to hold a one-day hunger strike on Independence Day, condemning the Act. Dozens of residents from four villages, led by the Dharmapuri MLA SP Venkateshwaran and Pappireddipatti MLA A Govidasamy, gathered at the Collectorate on Monday and filed petitions against the Act. The petitioners stated: "The implementation of the Waqf Act has severely affected farmers who had lived in the area for close to three decades. The sale of lands in over 51 survey numbers in four villages have been blocked." S Nandhakumar from Chettikarai said, "We have revenue records dating back to over 125 years, but out of nowhere we have been told our lands belong to the Waqf Board. Our lands are not being registered. We have been denied chitta and adangal for our lands because the Waqf Board claims our land is theirs. Nearly a hundred families that rely on agriculture are now being denied land." Nandhakumar further stated: "We are asked to get an NOC from the Waqf Board for any revenue-related documents. Our lives are entirely affected by the Act. We will hold a one-day protest on Independence Day, condemning the Act." The residents also urged the district administration to denounce the Act. Officials in the administration said: "They cannot comment on the matter".

Akhilesh slams BJP after Hindu groups vandalise centuries-old tomb in Fatehpur
New Delhi: Akhilesh slams BJP after Hindu groups vandalise centuries-old tomb in FatehpurSamajwadiParty chief Akhilesh Yadav has sharply criticised the BJP following fresh tensions in Fatehpur, Uttar Pradesh, where Hindu groups vandalised a tomb, claiming it was originally a temple. In a statement, Yadav accused the BJP of pursuing divisive politics, saying, 'Only when society is divided and hatred is spread will the BJP be successful in politics. These people are following an ideology created by the British.' The incident took place at the centuries-old tomb of Nawab Abu Samad. On Monday, a group of Hindu activists staged a protest outside the structure, alleging that it was built after demolishing a Hindu temple. They reportedly sought permission from the district administration to conduct prayers at the site. Video clips circulating on social media show members of Hindu organisations vandalising parts of the mausoleum and hoisting saffron flags on it. The visuals have sparked outrage among the local Muslim community and political opposition. Following the unrest, police deployed tight security around the site to prevent further escalation. The administration is said to be investigating the matter, though tensions remain high. Yadav also pointed out that Fatehpur has witnessed similar communal incidents in the past, recalling that a mosque in the district was earlier demolished for being 'illegal' on the grounds that its construction map had not been approved. He added that in a separate earlier incident, a youth was killed, and action was taken only after considerable public and political pressure. Minister Kapil Dev stated that the Uttar Pradesh administration is fulfilling its responsibilities and emphasised that no individual will be permitted to take the law into their own hands. Minister Nand Kishor Gurjar commented on the controversy surrounding the site, asserting that there was no tomb originally present there. He claimed that the structures were built after the 17th century and linked their existence to the historical persecution of Hindus and the destruction of temples. He acknowledged that the recent vandalism was a reaction to that history, saying, 'Ideally, such actions should have been carried out through proper administrative channels. While those involved were not bad people, the act should have been conducted within the framework of the law.'
