Stormy scenes likely as government gears up to table JPC report on Waqf bill
Sunday, 2 February 2025 Parliament is set for a contentious session on Monday with the tabling of the Joint Parliamentary Committee report on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill in Lok Sabha. Clashes between BJP and opposition members have already marked the committee's deliberations, with further heated debates expected.
New Zealand’s Parliament suspended three opposition lawmakers, Rawiri Waititi, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, and Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, over their haka performance in protest of a controversial bill. The bill, supported by the conservative government, sparked backlash from the Māori community, with critics claiming it represented an anti-Māori agenda. This protest, the most severe disciplinary action against lawmakers in New Zealand’s history, signals a growing debate over Māori culture’s role in public life and the nation’s push for Indigenous rights.
