NDTV
Senior BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi has asserted that the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, is essential for reforming the Waqf system.
As political controversy continues over the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, senior BJP leader and former Union Minister for Minority Affairs, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, said the Bill is the need of the hour.
The Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) is preparing to meet for the first time on Thursday to discuss the Waqf (Amendment) Bill introduced by the Modi government during the recently concluded Parliament session.
The Bill is significant for the BJP and the party's strategists want it to be passed in the upcoming Winter Session of the Parliament. However, a lot also depends on the JPC report. The BJP has to not only get the opposition parties on the board, but also convince allies like Chandrababu Naidu and Chirag Paswan to support the Bill.
