Opposition parties urged on Wednesday that the Waqf (Amendment) Bill be referred to Parliament`s standing committee for review following its introduction. The government notified the Business Advisory Committee that it would make a decision based on Lok Sabha opinion.

The administration declared during the Committee meeting that it will not advocate for the Bill`s consideration and passage after it is introduced in the Lok Sabha on Thursday. There is a significant probability that the government will agree to refer the Bill, which is opposed by some Muslim organisations, to a parliamentary panel. According to sources, even some pro-government parties have qualms about the planned legislation, reported PTI.
