‘Chairman Pursuing BJP Agenda’: Oppn MPs Stage Walkout from Waqf JPC Meet for Second Straight Day

Jagdambika Pal, a BJP Lok Sabha member and chairman of the Waqf JPC, is facing backlash from opposition MPs for allegedly pursuing the BJP’s agenda during meetings. The opposition MPs have boycotted the meetings and requested the Lok Sabha speaker to intervene and change the chairman. The opposition MPs are unhappy with the biased conduct of the chairman, who allowed a witness to make politically motivated allegations against Congress leaders without proper notice. There was a heated argument between BJP and opposition MPs over the mandatory appointment of women in the Waqf Council, leading to a walkout by the opposition. The opposition has raised concerns about the government’s rush to pass the bill and questioned the fairness of the proceedings.
