<h1>Opposition Slams Waqf Amendment Bill Committee as a 'Farce,' Cites Constitutional Concerns; Ruling Party Defends Reforms</h1> The Opposition criticized the functioning of the joint parliamentary committee on the Waqf Amendment Bill during an all-party meeting, calling it a 'farce' and a mockery of parliamentary traditions. The committee, chaired by a ruling party member, adopted its report by a 15-11 majority vote, incorporating changes proposed by the ruling party. Opposition members submitted dissent notes, accusing the process of undermining Waqf boards and infringing on the constitutional rights of the Muslim community. The ruling party argued that the Bill aims to modernize and enhance transparency and accountability in managing Waqf properties.
