Rajya Sabha set to pass Waqf Bill, BJD lets MPs 'exercise conscience' - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

In her speech on the Bill, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that in Tamil Nadu, the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR & CE) department is with the state government.

Hussain decried the way the JPC on the issue functioned, alleging that it sought views of people who were not stakeholders in the process because all the stakeholders that appeared before the parliamentary committee opposed the provisions of the proposed Bill.

Some members of the opposition in the Rajya Sabha were wearing black as a mark of protest against the Bill.
