The Joint Parliamentary Committee on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill is expected to submit its report during the budget session. The term of the committee was extended during the winter session of Parliament.
The Joint Parliamentary Committee on implementing ‘One Nation One Election’ was asked earlier to submit its report to Lok Sabha on the first day of the last week of the budget session. However, there is strong demand for an extension of the term of the committee which had its first meeting earlier this month.
The winter session had ended on an acrimonious note with the BJP and opposition members filing police complaints against each other over alleged misbehaviour during protest in the Parliament premises.
