New Delhi: The Opposition on Thursday created a ruckus and walked out of the Lok Sabha, alleging that dissent notes have not been included in the report of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the Waqf Amendment Bill, that was tabled in the house.
As soon as the JPC Chairman Jagdambika Pal tabled the panel’s report on the table of the house, the Opposition members created a ruckus.
Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, “Some Opposition members have raised concern that their views have not been included completely in the report. I want to say on behalf of my party that taking into consideration the concerns of the Opposition, I request you to add whatever disputes there are, as per the appropriate form of parliamentary functioning. My party has no objection to this”.
On this, Speaker Om Birla said that some members of the Opposition had met him and expressed their objections and their disagreements have been placed in the annexure of the report.
The Opposition was not satisfied with this and continued creating ruckus. Later they walked out of the house.
