Opposition MPs in India protest against the Waqf Bill committee chair for unilateral decisions.

Opposition MPs on India's Joint Parliamentary Committee reviewing the Waqf (Amendment) Bill are protesting against chairperson Jagdambika Pal for making unilateral decisions regarding meeting schedules and witness selections. They have written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, expressing intentions to disassociate from the committee if their grievances are not addressed. The MPs argue these actions undermine constitutional norms and threaten the secular principles of earlier Waqf legislation.
