BJP MP Tejasvi Surya has accused opposition members of threatening Jagdambika Pal, chairperson of the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the Waqf Amendment Bill, during an October 14 meeting. Surya alleged that opposition MPs exhibited “unparliamentary behavior” when former Karnataka Minorities Commission chairperson Anwar Manipaddy testified regarding a Waqf land “scam” in Karnataka, implicating Congress leaders in the encroachment or sale of 2,000 acres of Waqf land worth ₹2 lakh crore.
Meanwhile, 12 opposition MPs have written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, accusing Pal of biased conduct during the proceedings.
