NEW DELHI:

BJP member and JPC chairman Jagdambika Pal said the panel has given the representatives of the three states a fortnight to furnish their responses and would call them again to appear before it if required.

The committee has sought details about the Waqf properties in states, including their registration with the government, listing of the properties by their character — waqf by user or waqf by deed, the income generated by such properties and if their nature can be changed.
