Opposition MPs meet Birla, protest waqf JPC chief’s ‘unilateral decisions’

The Dawoodi Bohra community, in a deposition before a parliamentary committee, argued against being included under the purview of any waqf board, including the separate board proposed for Bohras and Agakhanis in the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024. Citing their unique structure and beliefs, the community asserted that their affairs do not necessitate external regulation.
