Strong BJP leader and Lok Sabha member Jagdambika Pal was on Tuesday appointed as the head of the joint committee of Parliament set up to examine the contentious Waqf (Amendment) Bill. Amid protests by the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, the Centre decided to refer the bill to a joint committee of the two Houses. Notably, the joint parliamentary committee has 31 members — 21 from the Lok Sabha and 10 from the Rajya Sabha — and will submit its report by the next session.
