Dubey, Surya, Owaisi among 31 MPs in panel on waqf bill

A joint parliamentary committee (JPC) was formed to review the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, a day after its referral. The 31-member panel includes 21 Lok Sabha MPs and 10 Rajya Sabha MPs. Opposition parties oppose the bill, citing concerns over federalism and constitutional provisions, suggesting its withdrawal or review by a standing committee.
