<h1>Joint Parliamentary Committee Accepts JD(U)'s Amendments to Waqf Bill for Improved Transparency and Efficiency.</h1> The Janata Dal (United) announced that its proposed amendments to the Waqf (Amendment) Bill have been accepted by the Joint Parliamentary Committee. The amendments, co-sponsored by members from JD(U) and BJP, include allowing 'mutawalli' to request an extension for listing Waqf properties and designating an officer above the district collector for inquiries into disputes. These changes aim to address concerns about impartiality and transparency. Despite opposition criticism labeling the bill as unconstitutional, the ruling BJP argues it will enhance Waqf board efficiency. The committee will finalize its report for presentation in the upcoming Budget Session.
