|January 25, 2025
The JPC chairman accused Oppn members of causing disruptions, while the latter raised objections to the functioning of the panel
A heated session of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024 resulted in the suspension of several Opposition members, including TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee, DMK's A Raja and AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday.
The motion for suspension, moved by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, was passed by the committee after repeated disruptions during the meeting held on Friday. The MPs were suspended for a day.
Committee Chairman Jagdambika Pal said the meeting had to be adjourned multiple times due to Opposition MPs creating a ruckus, using unparliamentary language, and sloganeering.
"We kept requesting them to let the invited delegation from Jammu and Kashmir speak, but they continued their protests," Mr Pal stated.
