JPC adopts waqf report, bill may be tabled next week

The Joint Parliamentary Committee approved the Waqf (Amendment) Bill with a 15-11 majority, amid opposition members' concerns over government interference and the inclusion of non-Muslims on waqf boards. The bill, including backward Muslims and women as beneficiaries and allowing appeals to High Courts within 90 days, aims to bring transparency and accountability to waqf property management.
