[ad_1] New Delhi: When the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) sought opinions from everyone on the Waqf Amendment Bill, it received about 1.25 crore feedbacks. Now the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) feels that there is a conspiracy of foreign forces behind this. BJP MP from Godda, Jharkhand, Nishikant Dubey, has expressed apprehension of the possible influence of foreign institutions and fundamentalist organizations. he/she has also demanded a comprehensive investigation led by the Home Ministry to find out where so many feedbacks came from. The Narendra Modi government at the Center introduced an amendment bill in the Lok Sabha in the last session for some important changes in the Waqf Act. The opposition demanded to send the bill to the JPC and now this Waqf Amendment Bill is with the JPC.BJP MP wrote a letter to JPC chairmanNishikant Dubey is one of the members of JPC. he/she wrote a letter to JPC chairman Jagdambika Pal expressing doubts that such a large number of feedbacks cannot come naturally from within India only. he/she said that the language of many feedbacks is similar, which smells of conspiracy. Dubey said, 'The biggest issue is how many of these suggestions came from within India and how many from abroad.'Conspiracy of Jihadi, radical Islamic organizations?Dubey specifically named individuals like Zakir Naik and organisations like Jamaat-e-Islami, as well as some foreign intelligence agencies, including Pakistan's ISI and China, who are engaged in destabilising Indian democracy. he/she emphasised the need to examine the feedback to protect the integrity of the legislative process. Dubey stressed, 'Where these feedbacks come from must be carefully examined. We cannot allow foreign forces to influence our legislative committees through inputs based on a possible agenda.'Kiren Rijiju also expressed concernParliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju also echoed these concerns and said that such a large number of feedback received does not reflect the normal situation. he/she said that earlier even 1,000 feedbacks were considered a lot. Emphasizing the importance of transparency in the process, Rijiju said, 'No one ever thought that the JPC would get recommendations worth crores.'Owaisi asked for proofResponding to the BJP's demand for an inquiry, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi challenged the party to provide concrete evidence linking Zakir Naik, ISI and China to the feedback submission. "If China is involved in this, can China register in India? Do you people have any proof that ISI, China and Zakir Naik are involved in the Waqf?" Owaisi asked, seeking clarity on the allegations.Wakf Amendment Bill with JPCThe JPC constituted on August 9, 2024 has 31 members. These include 21 Lok Sabha and 10 Rajya Sabha MPs. They have the responsibility to reach a conclusion with consultation on possible amendments to the Waqf Bill. For this reason, the committee had invited ideas and suggestions from various groups, but the feedback received in such a large number has further complicated the process. BJP feels that this cannot happen without a conspiracy. The question is whether the government will conduct an inquiry on the demand of its own MPs? [ad_2]
