Sources said Opposition MPs proposed amendments in all the 44 clauses of the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, seeking to restore the provisions of the existing law.According to the sources, the Opposition MPs claimed the law proposed by the committee in its report would maintain the Bill’s “draconian” character which, they alleged, was a bid to interfere in the religious affairs of Muslims.The meeting of the committee headed by BJP MP Jagdambika Pal on Monday was again marked by noisy protests by opposition members, who accused him of “subverting” a democratic process.The panel is set to adopt its report on Wednesday with MPs of opposition parties including the Congress, TMC, DMK and the AIMIM expected to give their dissent, the sources said.
