4pm News Network: Big news is emerging regarding the Waqf Amendment Bill. The 8th meeting of the CPM (Joint Parliamentary Committee) was held on Wednesday, November 27, in Delhi. Opposition leaders left the meeting midway. Furthermore, the opposition boycotted the CPM meeting. The opposition leaders left the meeting midway saying that the president had on November 29 announced the presentation of the JPC’s draft Waqf (Amendment) report, which has been boycotted by all opposition parties. Opposition leaders have demanded an extension of the JPC period. AAP MP and CPM member Sanjay Singh said until the report is finalized, all stakeholders are heard and the CPM visit is completed. I think it is a mistake to present the draft report before that.
All opposition parties opposed this. He said that the Speaker had assured us that he would extend the time of the CPM. Ignoring all these things, you are saying that the draft report is ready to be submitted. They did not listen to the Delhi government, the Jammu and Kashmir government, the Punjab government and the UP government. He said there are many interested parties that we want to come. Why doesn’t this committee allow all interested parties to come?
In this regard, AIMIM MP and CPM member Asaduddin Owaisi said that ‘the mandate is that the report is presented on 29 (November). How can we give it, there is a process to follow that has not been done. Most importantly, this committee has not visited Bihar, West Bengal.
