AIMPLB criticises JPC's approach on Waqf Amendment Bill, calls for adherence to guidelines
New Delhi: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has raised serious concerns over alleged procedural violations by the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) reviewing the Waqf Amendment Bill 2024. AIMPLB spokesperson Dr. SQR Ilyas criticised the JPC's approach, describing it as a "transgression of principles" and a breach of constitutional norms.
Dr. Ilyas stated that the JPC should limit consultations to stakeholders directly associated with Waqf matters. However, he claimed the committee is seeking input from organisations that lack relevance, including Central Ministries, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), and groups aligned with the RSS.
In recent developments, six opposition members wrote to the Lok Sabha Speaker, expressing dissatisfaction with JPC Chairperson Jagdambika Pal’s conduct, which they allege has hindered fair discussions. This follows an earlier letter by opposition members condemning the chairman's behaviour.
The AIMPLB has demanded that the committee consider objections from AIMPLB and other recognised Muslim organisations, while excluding entities unrelated to Waqf issues. It also urged the JPC to refrain from rushing its report and to follow due process, ensuring thorough debate among members before submission.
