“232 votes were cast in favour of Waqf Board in the Lok Sabha while there were only 24 Muslim MPs, implying 208 Hindu MPs voted in favour.”
What FACTLY found
As per official Lok Sabha records, no voting took place on the Waqf Amendment Bill 2024 in the Lok Sabha; it was referred to the JPC. We reviewed the parliamentary proceedings on 08 August 2024 and 09 August 2024, during which the motion to refer the bill to the JPC was adopted. After the JPC report, the bill will be brought back to the Parliament with changes if any.
