    "content": " Hon. Speaker, first and foremost, I want to thank you for your sober guidance on the fact that you excluded the aspect of Hajj on that Bill, because it deviated from the main aspect of the entire Bill. It is also shocking that a Member of the Committee is confirming that he is even shocked to learn how it even came to the Committee Report. That tells you that it is important. I also thank the Majority Whip for turning it down so that we can build consensus. This morning, we had a caucus with Hon. Abdullswamad and others, where we agreed that the way to go is to build consensus, and I am happy that Hon. Millie has agreed. Some time, we had a number of presentations from the consumers of the Bill, ultimately who are largely Muslims, and their concerns are that they are the ones who are going to consume this law, and yet we have issues that are being brought in that ultimately would not be good or would affect how the Waqf Bill or the Waqf Commission will operate. I am very happy that we stand down the whole thing, so that we can build consensus and agree on the way forward."
