According to the 'List of Business' of the Lok Sabha Secretariat on Sunday, the chairman of the committee, Jagdambika Pal, along with BJP MP Sanjay Jaiswal, were scheduled to present the report in the Lower House on Monday.

Both the members were also to lay on the table the record of evidence given before the Joint Committee of Parliament (JPC). However, in a late evening development, the Waqf Bill was removed from the revised list.
