The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has recently submitted a fact-finding report to the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) Chairman, Jagdambika Pal, concerning alleged cases of Waqf land encroachment in Vijayapura, Karnataka. The report, led by BJP MP Govind M Karjol, claims several irregularities in land record management, including instances of land designations being altered without the knowledge or notification of those affected, according to ANI.

BJP's Karnataka president, Vijayendra Yediyurappa, shared on social media that the committee’s investigation revealed instances where outdated Waqf Board orders and unrecorded verbal directives from Deputy Commissioners were used to alter land records. "The Committee uncovered several instances where land records were altered without any prior notice, citing outdated Waqf Board orders and verbal directives from Deputy Commissioners," he stated in a post on X.
