Concern in J&K over JPC’s proposed amendments to Waqf Bill

The Hindu  

Several J&K political parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party, the Democratic Progressive Azad Party, and the Communist Party of India, on Monday expressed concern over the way the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Waqf functioned and proposed amendments. Tarigami also criticised the JPC chairman for “unilaterally rejecting the concerns of opposition on the Waqf Amendment Bill”. Meanwhile, PDP leader and ex-Law Minister Syed Basharat Bukhari praised the Muttahida Majlis-e-Ulema, an organisation headed by Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, for meeting with the JPC “to express concerns and suggestions”. The two elected MPs from the ruling National Conference from central Kashmir and South-Pir Panjal seats must also take time and meet the empowered committee to register the concerns of the community in J&K about the proposed amendments,” Mr. Bukhari said. Mr. Farooq, who met the JPC in New Delhi recently, has already opposed the proposed amendments to Waqf laws and had sought a broader dialogue process to address the concerns of the Muslims in India.
