The BJP has demanded an apology from Congress leader Sonia Gandhi over her remarks on the Waqf Bill. Mrs Gandhi termed the Waqf Bill a "brazen assault" on the Constitution, accusing the BJP of seeking to keep society in a state of "permanent polarisation."
The Lok Sabha passed the Waqf amendment bill late on Thursday, leading to strong reactions from both the ruling party and the opposition.
Speaking at a Congress Parliamentary Party meeting in Samvidhan Sadan, Mrs Gandhi claimed that the Bill was "bulldozed" through the lower house. She also criticised the proposed One Nation, One Election Bill, calling it a subversion of the Constitution, and vowed that the Congress would strongly oppose it.
