Waqf Bill Showdown: Kiren Rijiju's Controversial Statements, Push for Joint Parliamentary Committee

In a heated Lok Sabha session, Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju made headlines with his controversial remarks on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024.

Rijiju defended the bill, now titled 'UMEED,' and addressed concerns about associating MPs with any religion.

He challenged the notion of changing an MP's religion to fit the Waqf board's criteria.

Rijiju also called for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to thoroughly review the bill.

Watch the full debate and understand the implications of these statements on India's legislative landscape.
