Waqf Bill: Why did Amit Shah take Lalu Prasad’s name in his speech?

Share
New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah, while defending the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, 2025, in the Lok Sabha, invoked Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s past statements to counter the opposition’s criticism. Shah claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was fulfilling a demand made by Prasad in 2013—one that the opposition itself had ignored when in power.
