A big reason behind postponing the tour has come to light. According to the information, assembly elections are to be held in Maharashtra and Jharkhand. Apart from this, by-elections are also to be held in many states. Many members of JPC are busy in that, hence the Bihar tour has been postponed. JPC has completed its research tour to states like Karnataka, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Gujarat to hear the views of the parties on the Waqf Amendment Bill. Was to come to Bihar in the second phase but the study tour was postponed. A new date for the tour will be decided soon.

MPs from both party and opposition are included in JPC

Let us tell you that the Waqf Amendment Bill 2024 is related to the management and protection of Waqf properties. It can be passed in the winter session of Parliament. The bill will also prevent misuse of Waqf properties. There are total 31 members in JPC. Apart from 21 members of Lok Sabha, names of 10 members of Rajya Sabha have also been included in JPC.
