"History Made But You Say Bulldozing": Kiren Rijiju Targets Sonia Gandhi

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Friday criticised the Congress and its senior leader, Sonia Gandhi - although he said "I don't want to comment on her" - after she accused the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government of "bulldozing" the contentious Waqf Amendment Bill through Parliament.

In a press conference this afternoon - hours after the Upper House voted 128-95 in favour of the new Waqf laws, after the Lower House's green light - Mr Rijiju pointed out the BJP had "followed all processes" in the marathon back-to-back debates in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.
