Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi accused the BJP government of using the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024, to “dilute the Constitution and disenfranchise minorities.” Challenging Union Minister Kiren Rijiju’s claim that the UPA transferred 123 properties to the Delhi Waqf Board in 2014, Gogoi demanded proof and accused him of misleading Parliament. He criticized the BJP for neglecting minority concerns, questioning the bill’s “certificate of religion” requirement. Rijiju countered, asking Gogoi to specify his objections. The debate intensified as Gogoi accused the government of reviving colonial-era tactics and ignoring opposition voices. (PC: PTI)
