Bharatiya Janata Party leader and the Chairman of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, Jagdambika Pal, attacked the Opposition for spreading "lie" over the Bill and said that it will benefit poor and Pasmanda (backward) Muslims.
Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Sunday called for a law that would ensure representation for poor Muslim women and Pasmanda communities in the Waqf Board, while also condemning the misuse of waqf properties.
