That such act exists in a secular country.
Even no muslim country have such act.
What is waqf system ?
Its a part of muslim brotherhood charity system.
Suppose Ahmed is 80 year old. He has two flats. Before death he wants to donate 1 flat for qaum so he donated 1 flat to waqf
As he donated now that property belongs to Allah. Waqf board is not owner but caretaker of that flat n they can use that flat for mus1im school, hostel, community hall or any for m community
So waqf is property of Allah donated for charity for muslim that was actual meaning

But this meaning changed with time
In 1947 hindu left their land in Pak n came to India n Muslim left their in India n went to Pak
Pak confiscated all land of hindus in Pak n gave that land to muslims n state govt but Gandhi Nehru did opposite.
They said no hindu will touch
land of mus1im who went to pak. They collected all that land n gave to waqf.
Waqf board 1954 that act was not as draconian but the real change came in 1995
Congress leader n PM PV Narsimha Rao brought Waqf act 1995 n gave them unlimited powers to acquire lands.
