Protests over Waqf bill rock Patna, Tejashwi attends AIMPLB dharna

Patna, Mar 26: Protests against the Waqf Bill rocked the Bihar capital on Wednesday, as Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav vowed to fight it out till rollback of the “undemocratic” legislation by the NDA government at the Centre.

Yadav drove down to Gardanibagh, the designated spot for ‘dharnas’ in the city, along with ailing father Lalu Prasad, the RJD president, to express solidarity with a demonstration staged by the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB). Barely a kilometre away, RJD MLAs and their Left allies, who had reached the assembly carrying the tricolour and placards with slogans denouncing the contentious Bill, stalled the proceedings of the assembly, forcing adjournment till 2 pm.
