The parliamentary panel's meetings have become a virtual battleground between the opposition and the ruling party members, who have been vociferously debating the changes to the Waqf Bill proposed by the government.

The bill's introduction has been postponed due to intense debates and disruptions within the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) responsible for reviewing it

The move came after the opposition members of the committee staged a walkout and slammed Jagdambika Pal, who is the JPC chairperson, for asserting that the panel's draft report was ready.

Bill has faced criticism for not consulting all stakeholders, as voiced by various opposition MPs. The JPC intends to request an extension to ensure comprehensive hearings before submitting its report,

After protests by opposition members on the panel, the Joint Parliamentary Committee scrutinising the Waqf (Amendment) Bill passed a resolu.

BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Wednesday more time for the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the Waqf amendment bill, days after Opposition MPs made the same demand. The MP from Jharkhand's Godda constituency moved a resolution during a meeting of the Parliamentary panel on Wednesday.
