New Delhi: On Thursday, the joint committee of Parliament looking into the Waqf (Amendment) Bill delivered its report to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. Jagdambika Pal, the panel's chairperson, met Birla at his Parliament House office and delivered the report.

The panel endorsed its report on Wednesday with a majority vote, including changes made by members of the ruling BJP, prompting the opposition to label the process an attempt to dismantle Waqf boards.

The Joint Committee of Parliament on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill adopted the report on the draft legislation by a 15-11 majority vote.

Opposition members submitted dissent notes to the report.

BJP members insisted that the Bill, introduced in the Lok Sabha in August last year, seeks to bring modernity, transparency and accountability in the management of Waqf properties. On the other hand, the opposition termed it an attack on the constitutional rights of the Muslim community and interference in the functioning of Waqf boards.
