Yogi Government’s Announcement: Non-Muslims to Join UP Waqf Board; Clerics Outraged, Politics Heats Up!

UP’s Minority Welfare Minister, Danish Azad Ansari, has stated that, similar to Madhya Pradesh, non-Muslims will now be included in the Waqf Board in UP as well. While Danish Azad’s statement has sparked a political controversy, it has also drawn the ire of Muslim clerics. Maulana Sajid Rashidi, President of the All India Imam Association, claims that such statements are being made with an eye on the 2027 elections.
