New Row In Waqf Bill JPC Over ‘Hectic’ Schedule Amid Elections. What Comes Next?

The parliamentary committee on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill is facing challenges, with the Opposition criticizing the chairperson and the hectic schedule of a five-state tour amid elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand. The bill aims to bring reforms to waqf properties, but is met with mixed reactions. Despite bitter spats, the committee is working towards submitting a report in time for the Winter Session of Parliament. The chairperson is pushing for consultations and meetings in various states, but some members are concerned about the short timeline. The government is determined to pass the bill in the upcoming session, with the JPC playing a crucial role in the process.
