Waqf Bill Showdown: Kiren Rijiju's Controversial Statements, Push for Joint Parliamentary Committee

In a heated Lok Sabha session, Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju made headlines with his controversial remarks on the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2024.

Rijiju defended the bill, now titled 'UMEED,' and addressed concerns about associating MPs with any religion.

He challenged the notion of changing an MP's religion to fit the Waqf board's criteria.

Rijiju also called for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to thoroughly review the bill.

Dalai Lama at 90: China’s Challenge and the Future of Tibetan Leadership

As the Dalai Lama turns 90, he declares his successor will not be born in China—defying Beijing’s succession claims. China, which once called Tibetan Buddhism “poison,” insists it will approve any reincarnation. India backs the Tibetan leader, with PM Modi and Minister Kiren Rijiju supporting religious autonomy. The threat of two Dalai Lamas—one genuine, one Chinese-appointed—echoes the Panchen Lama crisis. With global attention rising, the future of Tibetan Buddhism hinges on protecting its sacred, sovereign traditions. #DalaiLama90 #Tibet #ChinaTibet #ReligiousFreedom #TibetanBuddhism #PanchenLama #DalaiLamaSuccession #IndiaSupportsTibet #BeijingVsDharamshala #ModiOnTibet #TibetanRights #GlobalFaith #FreeTibet #SpiritualLeadership #CommunistChina #CulturalHeritage #KirenRijiju #TibetUnderThreat #ChinaInterference #SacredTraditions #TibetanStruggle #AsiaGeopolitics #TwoDalaiLamas #ReincarnationBattle #DalaiLamaStatement Also Read Is Xi Jinping Preparing To Step Down As Chinese President?
