Ex-Waqf House Panel Chief Rahman Khan Criticizes New Waqf Bill, Welcomes Joint Committee Review

K Rahman Khan, a veteran Congress leader and former Union minority affairs minister, has raised significant concerns about the new Waqf Amendment Bill introduced by the Narendra Modi government. Khan, who led a Joint Parliamentary Committee on Waqf in the late 1990s and early 2000s, believes the new legislation could undo key reforms established by the Waqf Act of 1995 and its 2013 amendments.

Background and Concerns

The new Bill, introduced in the Lok Sabha, has sparked controversy and opposition from various quarters. Critics, including Khan, argue that the government has bypassed essential consultations with stakeholders, including the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) and other organizations crucial to Waqf affairs.

In an interview with The Indian Express, Khan expressed his discontent with the lack of stakeholder engagement, noting that the previous amendments in 2013 were well-received by the Muslim community and addressed numerous issues related to Waqf properties. The 2013 amendments aimed to curb illegal encroachments and made them criminal offenses, improvements Khan feels are now under threat.

Key Issues with the New Bill

Khan outlined several major issues with the new Bill:

Reversal of Reforms: The proposed legislation seems to roll back the progress made by the 1995 Act and the 2013 amendments. Khan criticized the move to abolish Waqf Tribunals and the requirement for all Waqf properties to re-register, which he believes will lead to significant administrative challenges and potential exclusion of properties without formal deeds.

Impact on Waqf Boards: The Bill removes provisions that allowed Waqf Boards to independently register properties and introduces non-Muslims into Waqf Boards, which Khan argues is inappropriate for managing Muslim charitable and religious affairs.

Government's Stance and Future Review

The BJP argues that the Bill will increase transparency and ensure better representation of women in Waqf Boards. However, Khan disputes these claims, questioning the rationale behind including non-Muslims in Waqf Board management.

Despite his criticisms, Khan welcomed the decision to send the Bill to a Joint Committee of Parliament for detailed discussion. He views this as a positive step, allowing for a thorough examination of the Bill and ensuring that various stakeholders can present their perspectives before the legislation moves forward.

Khan’s comments highlight the ongoing debate over the Waqf Amendment Bill and underscore the need for comprehensive dialogue and consideration of all viewpoints before enacting significant changes to existing laws.

Final thoughts on affair... it wasn't really my show in that I was nnoyed by Pleng running away all the time but thats really just a matter of personal taste. Otherwise, I think this show did an amazing job at keeping its core story consistent and giving pleng and wan the space and grace to be toxic and codependent. I especially liked that after the incest scare, Wan took some time apart and was allowed to lile me, also get a bit sick of Pleng running away. The fact that Wan legitimately didn't give af if they were blood related was also hilarious.

I also think the actresses have amazing chemistry and I'd love to see more from them.

As for caveats, I do find the ending weak and the resolutions rushed. What is it with the incessant need to redeem all the villains. The shows also a touch soapy but I just watched Blank so this didn't even come close to phasing me.

Overall, I'd highly recommend for their chemistry alone but also for a genuinely good show

"Hannes Kleineke cites Dean and Canons of Windsor MS XI.B.6, rot. 2, for evidence of a deathbed codicil by Edward IV concerning a dispute between the knights and canons of Windsor"

remember when I said that we don't know what Edward IV's deathbed codicils were as they haven't survived? that there is no reason to automatically assume they were relevant to his son's minority? that it's entirely possible that they weren't very important at all considering how dismissively Croyland spoke of them ("some codicils thereto", with no emphasis or elaboration whatsoever)? I LOVE being proven right <3

ep 3 of affair was mostly great but the way they changed wan's mom's behavior (making her meddle more, ask pleng to set up wan and ek, rushing pleng to get past her trauma) pissed me off--like she was a bad mom in the book, but in a different way, and was way more indulgent of pleng which is WHY pleng cares so much more about her opinion than wan does, so changing that makes the way that pleng listens to her make less sense. also i can't believe they didn't do the timeskip this ep. the preview makes it clear it's happening in ep 4, but pacing-wise that's so stupid; i feel like they're gonna do like a quarter or half the ep wrapping up their teen years and then do the timejump, but they've only got 8 episodes and at this rate they're gonna have to cut a bunch of stuff from their adult years. and also having the timejump mid-ep is gonna make it a harder sell that they're 13 years older

also this is petty but i don't like that wan "woke up" *both* times pleng tried to sneak a kiss while they were sleeping, bc the whole thing in the book is that she keeps pretending to sleep to see what pleng will do and only "wakes up" the third time to be like "hey you keep almost kissing me and then chickening out, what gives, if you're not gonna kiss me then *i'm* gonna kiss *you*"

i did however love the cuddling + the hospital scene + the ways wan took care of pleng after the tragedy

Voting democrat will do nothing to stop the genocide in Palestine. However it’s still disingenuous to pretend that democrats being in office is somehow no different than republicans being in office

Branches of the Salas Family Triplets

While no photos exist of Alexandria Salas, the founding member of the family, there are photos of her triplets and their respective families. Cataleya started taking family photos shortly before retiring, and was able to get her siblings, Miranda and Bruno to have some photos taken at some point.

Seddiki Branch

Catelaya Salas married Mehdi Seddiki, they were high school sweethearts and were together from the beginning of high school up until their deaths. Together they had 3 children, Jasmin, Nyla, and Devonte. The top two photos show the couple shortly after each's retirement, the middle shows the two on their first date in highschool, and the bottom shows their children in a photo taken shortly before Catelaya and Mehdi's death.

Both were well-known public figures, with Catelaya being the author behind the bestselling series Cosmo Hike, and Mehdi being a politician turned activist and charity organizer.

The Seddiki branch has the most offspring, with their children having 10 children among themselves as of the current moment.

The Salas-Michaelson Branch

Bruno Salas married Kingston Michaelson. The two met junior year of high school, both being on the football team. The two went into athletics for most of their lives, though in his later years, Kingston switched towards working as a conservationist. The two had 3 children together, Khalil, Sade, and Olu, with Khalil being born with the help of a surrogate and the twins Sade and Olu being from an unexpected but not unwelcome pregnancy between the two.

When first starting high school and joining the football team, neither jock would believe that they would end up living a peaceful, domestic life in the suburbs with a husband and 3 children. But by some delightful chance, that's exactly what happened, and the two lived relaxed and quiet lives.

The Vatore Branch

Miranda married Sienna Vatore, the daughter of the vampire Lilith Vatore. Like her siblings, she met Sienna in high school, though they didn't start dating until after highschool. Miranda was a popular preppy girl, Sienna was a shy outcast, neither had come to the conscious realization that they liked girls. The two first met and bonded at prom, as neither had dates and were glad to find someone to talk to at the dance.

The two weren't close friends, and it was only a while after graduation that Miranda decided to try and find Sienna again. Sienna was living in San Myshuno as a single parent, having been given custody of her daughter Avery after a messy relationship. Miranda initially moved in with Sienna as a roommate and friend to help out caring for Avery, and eventually, the two came to the realization that they were in love. They eloped and went on to have 3 more children.

In the first three photos, you can see Miranda standing behind Sienna and next to their children. In the second photo, the children are from top to bottom, Alexandrea, Loren, Avery, and Sherry. Who are also pictured in the bottom in photos which are left to right: Loren and Alexandrea, Sherry, Avery and Alexandrea.

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - Agatha Christie

Having read Death on the Nile, which is one of the more famous of the Poirot books, I wanted to try more. Honestly, it gripped me so well, I just had to! So I ordered the first five books that evening!

I spent most of this trying to guess the murderer, and I was sort of leaning towards the same person most of the way through, but I was honestly nowhere near! And I would never have guessed the murder method!

This probably wasn't quite as enjoyable as Death on the Nile, which I'm attributing to it being the first in the series, but I still ploughed through it in a single day. When I got home from work, I just had to go and lock myself away until I had finished it!

Minor spoiler: this had a similar outcome to the first Christie I tried, which I'm guessing is pure coincidence, and they're not just all exactly the same! I'm going to move on to the next book in the series, and see what happens! I should try to refrain from guessing the ending, though, because I won't get it right!

Yes, there is absolutely! a comment period, and it has been extended to June 12th! As far as I understand: you can make public comment here. I think it's crucial to note that while this encompasses negligence around broken and mishandled equipment, and people with those sorts of horrors should absolutely submit comment! it by no means limits itself to that. This rule also concerns itself with enforcement of improper transfers, ala the grueling, humiliating ordeal of Charles Brown. Which I'm frustrated more people aren't emphasizing, as it matters so fucking much to get voices who've been dehumanized in similar fashion into the comments, too. There's a brilliant list of Do's and Don't's linked as a list on the comment page. Per that list's request, I'd urge you to peruse the full regulation before commenting

As a disabled person who's loved LEVERAGE and LEVERAGE REDEMPTION since the beginning - for the characters but also the whole ethos of performing acts that help people against crap systems, it's wonderful to be reminded that it springs from reality.
