The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has formed a dedicated panel to communicate the details of the waqf bill to the public. The major goal of the committee formed will be to develop a strategy to present the benefits of the bill, countering any doubts raised by the Opposition.

The panel plans to hold small meetings and seminars with students, intellectuals, scholars, and common citizens. Additionally, the BJP will run an awareness campaign to ensure that the Muslim community is not misled by Opposition leaders.
