Row erupts in Parliament after Waqf JPC submits its report on bill

Hindustan Times  

The joint parliamentary committee examining controversial amendments to the Waqf bill submitted its report to both Houses on Thursday, triggering chaos and disruptions as the Opposition protested against the alleged deletion of parts of their dissent notes in the report. Opposition MPs raise slogans against the JPC report regarding the Waqf Amendment Bill in Lok Sabha during the Budget Session of Parliament on Thursday. Speaking outside Parliament, Rijiju said, “When the JPC report was tabled in the Rajya Sabha today, some Opposition members said their dissent notes had been removed. We told them that if they think that it should not have been removed, they can raise it with the chairman.” Accusing the Opposition of seeking to “discredit their own report”, Rijiju said, “There can be differences in opinion within the JPC, but even the opposition views have been included in the annexures.” Responding to a question on when the fresh Waqf bill will be presented, he said, “The report will come to the government, it will then be sent to cabinet and after that the fresh bill will be tabled in Parliament.” The bill, introduced by the government in the previous session, seeks to bring changes to the powers of state Waqf boards, survey of Waqf properties and removal of encroachments by amending the Waqf Act, 1995.
