Mohammed's Squatters

You're not going to believe this one.

The Indian government has dismissed claims by a Muslim trust, the Sunni Waqf Board, that it owns the Taj Mahal.

Calling the board's claim baseless, Law Minister H R Bharadwaj said the monument was Indian national property.

The board argued the monument was its property since it holds several Muslim graves, and the board is responsible for all Muslim graves in the country.

"The Taj Mahal contains Muslim graves, so we own it."

Riiiiiiiight.
