The AP State Minorities Commission has directed both the governments to initiate CBI probe into the alienation of Wakf properties. The commission also seeks an interim order to not to lease any wakf properties and also not to change managing committees and give NOC.
Abid Rasool Khan justified his act and has told that he has received numerous complaints on the mismanagement and alienation of Wakf properties in both the state governments and the AP State Minorities Commission Act has ascertained 15 such cases of irregularities.
