The Catholic Bishops' Conference of India (CBCI) on Monday released an official statement urging a “permanent resolution” to long-standing land disputes within the proposed amendments to the Waqf Law. As the Waqf Amendment Bill is set to be introduced in Parliament, the CBCI called on political parties and legislators to approach the issue with an “unbiased and constructive” mindset.
The statement highlights concerns over land ownership conflicts and seeks fair legal provisions that ensure justice for all stakeholders. The CBCI's appeal adds to the growing debate surrounding the proposed amendments, with various religious and political groups weighing in on the implications of the bill.
