Tense Situation During Waqf Board Office Inauguration in Ratnagiri

During the inauguration of the Waqf Board office in Ratnagiri, chaos erupted. The office was inaugurated by Minister Uday Samant today, but BJP and the Sakal Hindu Samaj opposed the event. As a form of protest, the Sakal Hindu Samaj workers held black flags and demonstrated against the event. When Uday Samant arrived, protesters displayed black flags and raised slogans against him, demanding the cancellation of the Waqf Board office.

Protesters' Reaction Against Waqf Board Office

Protesters from the Sakal Hindu Samaj expressed their views, saying, "Our only concern is that the Waqf Board has, till date, taken control of land belonging to Bharat Mata and the Hindu community. While the Waqf Board Bill is still pending as of March 8, 2024, setting up an office in a cultured city like Ratnagiri is something the Hindu community strongly opposes. The administration has granted us the right to protest," said the demonstrators.
