Bihar Governor Mohammad Arif Khan has supported the Waqf Bill. The assets of Waqf are considered to be of Allah. It should be used for the poor, needy and public interest. Non -Muslims also have equal rights in Waqf’s assets.
,
The Governor said that, India is a democratic country. Has the right to protest. Everyone has the right to speak. I was with the Waqf Department when I was a minister in UP. All the time I had to meet people whose property cases were going on.
The governor said, ‘It required a lot of improvement. This Waqf Amendment Bill is a step in this direction. The Governor arrived at the state ceremony on the 118th birth anniversary of former Deputy Prime Minister Jagjivan Ram in Patna.
Waqf is right for both fakir and Misskin
Referring to the verse of the Quran, the Governor said that ‘it mentions two types of needy- fakir (Muslim) and Misskin (non-Muslim). This means that every needy has the right to benefit from Waqf. Not on the basis of religion. There is a lot of property of Waqf in Patna, but you tell me that there is one institution that is working for the poor. Only the lawsuit is being held among themselves.
Questioning the validity also said that the concept of Waqf was once considered non-Islamic even in Muslim countries, but in 1913 the Act introduced by Mohammad Ali Jinnah gave it validity. Now tell me, what should be its direction.
Questions have been raised on Waqf before
Earlier on April 3, the Governor of Bihar said during UP that, ‘I stayed in the Waqf Ministry in UP for some time. I did not see anything other than the case. The Muslim Women’s Safety Act was passed in 1980.
It said that if there is no one to take care of the divorced woman, then she will be given an allowance from the Waqf Board. Two years later, I asked in Parliament what provision the Waqf Board has made and how much amount is given to a divorced woman as a allowance.
Arif Khan said that,
I got the answer that no Waqf Board has made a provision of one penny. The condition of the Waqf Board is that he has so much assets and does not have money to pay salaries.
Governor Arif Khan is very much discussed about his statements. Let’s know their statements that are in discussion
Was clashed with the Chief Minister in Kerala

Along with this, he had said- Chief Minister is accusing me that I want to recruit RSS people on university posts. If a single such example is found then I will resign.

The Kerala government had approached the Supreme Court against the then Governor Khan. The Vijayan government had accused the governor of not approving many of his bills, while the assembly has passed these bills. On this, the Supreme Court gave notice to the office of Governor Arif Mohammad Khan on 20 November 2023.
There was a lot of political rhetoric on Arlekar’s statement
Three days ago, Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar said in Goa- ‘The British rulers left India not due to Satyagraha, but by seeing weapons in the hands of Indians. He realized that people of India could go to any extent for independence. He made this statement during an event in Goa on Friday last week.
The Governor Arlekar also said that the British tried to create a story. But the truth is that Indian freedom struggle was not fought without weapons. The British did not leave India due to Satyagraha.
