The JPC report on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill was tabled in Parliament, triggering opposition protests. The bill seeks to empower district collectors to settle disputes and include non-Muslim members in Waqf Boards, sparking concerns over government control.

Muslim organisations argue the amendments threaten Waqf autonomy, while opposition MPs claim their dissent notes were not fully included. Union Home Minister Amit Shah assured that the opposition’s concerns would be addressed as per procedure.
