Claim: The total area of Waqf Board properties in India is 9.40 lakh sq km, which is significantly larger than Pakistan's total area of 8.81 lakh sq km.
Fact-check: Viral claim that the area of properties under Waqf boards in India is more than the total area of Pakistan is false - FACTLY
Verdict: as per official data released by the government, the total land owned by waqf boards in india is 9.4 lakh acres, not 9.40 lakh sq km as mentioned in the viral claim. 9.4 lakh acres is approximately 3,804 sq km. the exact figure for pakistan's total land area is not definitive, as pakistan claims part of indian territory. however, it is clear that the total land area of pakistan is significantly larger than the total land owned by waqf in india, which is around 3,804 square kilometres. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
