The report of the Joint Committee on Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, was tabled in the Lok Sabha on Thursday with Home Minister Amit Shah asserting the BJP has no objection to the opposition’s dissent notes being included without redaction, and asked the Speaker decide according to procedures.

When panel chairman Jagdambika Pal rose to table the report, opposition members shouted slogans. The opposition members then staged a walkout, raising slogans against Pal. The JPC report Bill was submitted to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on January 30. The panel had earlier adopted the report on the draft legislation by a 15-11 majority vote. The report was earlier in the day tabled in the Rajya Sabha amid uproar.
