Hyderabad: Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday criticised the chairperson of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, Jagdambika Pal, for recently visiting Karnataka to look into local Waqf land-related issues.
Asaduddin said the JPC does not have investigative powers as its job is to look into the Bill alone. Moreover the chairman cannot act unilaterally and the committee has to act collectively, he said. Asaduddin said the JPC had already conducted a consultation in Karnataka.
