Since BJD's 2024 defeat in the state & LS elections, leaders have been questioning Patnaik over VK Pandian's role, party's policy in its current Oppn position & now, the waqf bill U-turn.
The house was adjourned for three hours Wednesday—last day of the Budget session—amid sloganeering from both the ruling National Conference & Opposition BJP.
The Bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha with 128 members voting in favour and 95 opposing it; and in Lok Sabha early Thursday, with 288 members supporting it and 232 against it.
Mohammad Jawed’s plea says the Waqf Bill restricts new converts from creating Waqfs, violating Articles 15 and 25 by discriminating on religion and curbing freedom of practice.
Speaking after day two of the 24th congress of CPI(M), Karat said reforms and rejuvenation needed in waqf boards, but bill goes against constitutional rights guaranteed to citizens.
