Claim: Properties of Muslims who migrated to Pakistan from India after 1947 are vested with the Waqf board.
Fact-check: The government holds control over the properties of people who migrated to Pakistan, not the Waqf board - FACTLY
Verdict: it is the government that took control of those properties of those who migrated to pakistan following the initial years of partition. government compensated people who came back from pakistan to india with these properties. legislations like the administration of evacuee property act, 1950 & 1952, the evacuee interest  act, 1951 and the displaced persons  act, 1954 facilitated for the compensation. later on, the government renamed these properties as enemy properties following the indo-pak wars. subsequent legislations like the defence of india act, 1962, the enemy property act, 1968 continued with control of government over these properties. the 2017 amendment to the 1968 act has provided the government to seize these properties. in fact, in 2019, the government has sold few of these properties. hence the claim made in the post is false.
