Jagdambika Pal, a senior BJP member of parliament, will lead the joint parliamentary committee that will review the Waqf (Amendment) Bill. The committee, which has 31 members total—10 from the Rajya Sabha and 21 from the Lok Sabha—is expected to give its report by the end of the upcoming legislative session, reported PTI.
According to the report, following opposition complaints over the bill`s provisions in the Lok Sabha, it was decided to refer the legislation to a joint committee. The administration has said that it has no intention of interfering with mosque operations, while the opposition has condemned the law, which was introduced last Thursday, calling it an attack on Muslims and the Constitution.
