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.
Draft report submitted to members ahead of today's meeting.
The draft report on the Waqf Amendment Bill, 2024 has been sent to all the members of the committee ahead of the Joint Parliamentary Committee meeting on Wednesday. According to sources, the committee has approved amendments to 14 sections. JPC Chairman Jagadambika Pal has said that the democratic process has been fully followed in the deliberations, while opposition members say that they have been given very little time to read the large draft report and give their comments.
Declaration of a fight to the finish against UCC
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPB) has warned of a fight to the finish against the implementation of the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) in Uttarakhand and the Waqf Amendment Bill approved by the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC).
Announcing a nationwide movement, it has been said that if needed, we will take to the streets and fill the jails on this issue. Also, the Muslims of Uttarakhand have been called upon not to compromise with their religious laws.
Suppressed constitutional rights
The AIMPB termed both cases as very unfortunate and harmful to the country and said that other Muslim organizations would also join the movement. Board President Maulana Khalid Saifullah Rahmani said that the JPC has violated all democratic and moral values and suppressed constitutional rights.
