‘Opposition MPs threatened JPC chief’: Tejasvi Surya's big claim on Waqf bill meeting

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Tejasvi Surya has alleged that the opposition members threatened Jagdambika Pal, the chairperson of the joint parliamentary committee on the Waqf Amendment bill, and a witness during a meeting of the panel. Surya in a letter to Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla alleged that the opposition MPs displayed “unparliamentary behaviour” on October 14 when the JPC had called ex-Karnataka State Minorities Commission chairperson Anwar Manipaddy to hear his views on the Waqf land "scam" in Karnataka.
