The parliamentary committee considering the Waqf Amendment Bill is going to support the government's move to include non-Muslims in the Waqf boards. Sources gave this information on Tuesday.
The Joint Parliamentary Committee will adopt the report
The Joint Parliamentary Committee is going to adopt its report on Wednesday. The committee also agrees with the arguments of two small sects of Shia Muslims - Dawoodi Bohra and Aga Khani - that they have their own distinct identity and their acceptance should also be in this form. They had demanded to keep themselves out of the purview of the proposed law.
The committee headed by BJP MP Jagdambika Pal believes that the bill's proposal to expand the state Waqf boards to include two non-Muslim members and ensure wider representation from Shia, Sunni, and backward Muslim communities will promote inclusiveness and diversity in Waqf management.
Opposition parties are strongly criticizing this bill
Opposition parties are strongly criticizing this bill and accusing Jagadambika Pal of arbitrarily accepting pre-decided recommendations and suppressing the voice of opposition MPs. DMK MP A Raja has alleged that the committee has become a joke.
