New Delhi: A major uproar erupted in Parliament ahead of the introduction of the Wakf Amendment Bill by Law Minister Kiren Rijiju in the Lok Sabha. The Congress strongly objected, claiming they received the bill's copy too late, leaving them with insufficient time for discussion.

While BJP leaders Ravi Shankar Prasad, Tejasvi Surya, Sambit Patra, and Jagdambika Pal are set to present their arguments in favor of the bill, Congress leaders Gaurav Gogoi and Imran Masood are opposing it.

What’s the issue?
The proposed amendments to the Wakf Act have sparked political tension. Congress argues that the bill was introduced without adequate consultations and could impact the property and rights of the minority community.

What’s next?
With the opposition and ruling party at odds, a heated debate is expected in Parliament over the bill.

Stay tuned for further updates.
