<h1>Parliamentary Panel Approves Ruling Alliance Amendments to Waqf Bill; Opposition Protests Process as Undemocratic.</h1> The parliamentary committee reviewing the Waqf (Amendment) Bill accepted amendments proposed by ruling alliance members while rejecting those from the opposition. The committee, led by a BJP MP, faced protests from opposition parties, who criticized the process as undemocratic and claimed the amendments would maintain the Bill's restrictive nature. The accepted changes include allowing 'Waqf by user' properties to remain unless disputed or government-owned and altering the authority to investigate property disputes. The ruling alliance is expected to pass the Bill during the upcoming Budget Session, despite opposition dissent and plans to challenge the law in court.
