Opposition MPs in India's Rajya Sabha walked out, accusing the government of removing their dissent notes from the Joint Parliamentary Committee's report on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju denied the claims, stating that no notes were deleted. The opposition argues the report is biased and anti-democratic, while the government maintains it adheres to parliamentary rules. The Bill aims to reform the management of Waqf properties.
