Joint Parliamentary Committee

The decision of the TMC and the SP stand in contrast with the stance by other INDI Alliance parties, including the Congress, which have been in favour of the bills being examined by the JPC.

During these visits, the Committee interacted with 25 State Waqf Boards, local civil society groups, and legal experts. The aim of these meetings was to understand regional variations in how Waqf properties are recorded, managed, and litigated.

Labelling it as a "historic day", Pal said that the hard work of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC), which took stakeholders in several states in confidence, has paid off. He added that JPC meetings were held and opposition was heard for eight hours every day.

The opposition had proposed amendments to all 44 clauses of the Bill, which were defeated by the 10:16 margin.
