JPC on waqf redacted my dissent note: Asad

The Hindu  

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president Asaduddin Owaisi, on Friday, alleged that the dissent note he submitted to the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Waqf Amendment Bill 2024, was redacted without his knowledge. The Hyderabad MP purportedly juxtaposed the JPC’s final report with his original dissent note. Among the alleged redacted sections of the dissent note was Mr. Owaisi’s opinion on the government taking cognizance of the ‘threat’ to Scheduled Tribes, and recommending steps to prevent tribal land from being declared as waqf property. Other allegedly redacted sections contained Mr. Owaisi stating that the Bill was not beneficial for the cause of waqf, and that the Waqf Amendment Bill 2024 was an attempt of the ruling dispensation to undermine the rights of Muslims.
