Lok Sabha proceedings on April 4, 2025, were adjourned following protests over Sonia Gandhi’s comments on the BJP and the Waqf (Amendment) Bill.

Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned on 4 April, 2025, Friday following spirited protests led by treasury benches over Congress leader Sonia Gandhi’s remarks against the BJP led government and the Waqf (Amendment) Bill 2025.

The benches raised slogans like “Sonia Gandhi maafi maango” for stating that the BJP was “polarising” the nation and the Waqf was a “brazen assault” on the constitution.

In response, the opposition benches raised slogans as well and started demanding the government to account for tariffs imposed by the US President, Donald Trump.

The Waqf (Amendment) Bill was passed in both houses of the Parliament. The opposition, mainly led by Congress, called it “unconstitutional” and claimed that it would disturb the peace and harmony of the country.

On April 3, 2025, Sonia Gandhi said, “Whether it is education, civil rights, and liberties, our federal structure, or conduct of elections, the Modi government is dragging the country into an abyss where our Constitution will remain on paper, and we know they intend to demolish even that.” She further criticized the functioning of the Parliament as well stating, “Gone are the days when the ruling party was accommodating of the Opposition, when debates and discussions used to take place in both Houses, and as MPs, we looked forward to them.”
