Members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) staged a protest in Haveri on Thursday saying that the State government is grabbing people’s assets through the Waqf Board even as some of them courted arrest.
Congregating at Hosamani Siddappa Circle in Haveri, BJP leaders and workers raised slogans against the State government accusing it of conspiring to grab land of the commoners.

Displaying “Our Land, Our Right” placards, the party workers urged the government to immediately withdraw notices claiming to be Waqf property and remove mutation entries in the name of the Waqf Board in property documents.
The protestors subsequently resorted to a road blockade despite a request from the police not to do so.
When attempts to convince the protestors to withdraw the road blockade failed, the police detained some of them and escorted them away from the protest site. They were released later.
