West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee criticized the Waqf (Amendment) Bill as "anti-secular" and detrimental to Muslim rights during the West Bengal Assembly session. She condemned the lack of prior discussion with state governments. The Lok Sabha extended the joint panel's review of the bill until the 2025 Budget session's conclusion, despite opposition calls for broader stakeholder input.
