The Maharashtra Mandir Mahasangh will launch a statewide agitation on Sunday, demanding the withdrawal of the proposed State Devasthan Inam Abolition Draft Act, 2026, claiming it targets properties of Hindu temples while excluding Waqf land from its purview, reported PTI. 

Draft law proposes ownership rights for tenants

The draft legislation aims to grant ownership rights to tenants and occupants of lands historically owned by temple trusts. It also seeks to resolve pending disputes and unlock nearly 4 lakh hectares of land. However, the proposal has faced stiff opposition from several Hindu organisations.
