Amid Waqf report storm in Parliament, Amit Shah says no objection to dissent notes

India Today  

Both houses of Parliament witnessed a massive showdown between the NDA and opposition MPs over the report of the joint committee on the Waqf Bill, 2024, which was tabled on Thursday. Both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha witnessed protests by the opposition, with MPs claiming that portions of dissent notes were removed from the final report. In the Lok Sabha, the report on the Bill, which aims to streamline registration of Waqf properties, was tabled by Joint Parliamentary Committee chairperson and BJP MP Jagadambika Pal amid chants of 'Jai Shri Ram'. 'SOME TRYING TO FIGHT INDIAN STATE' Countering Kharge's claims, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said the dissent notes were attached in the appendix of the report and accused the opposition of misleading the House. Hitting out at the opposition, Union Minister and BJP president JP Nadda said "some were trying to fight the Indian state" - a seeming reference to Rahul Gandhi's controversial remark last year.
