New Delhi (TIP)- The Lok Sabha proceedings were adjourned till 12 noon on April 4 amid high-pitched protest by treasury benches over remarks by Congress leader Sonia Gandhi against the government.

As soon as the House met for the day, members from the treasury benches started raising slogans such as “Sonia Gandhi maafi maango” (Sonia Gandhi apologise) over her remarks against the government.

The opposition benches, too, raised slogans, demanding answers from the government over US tariff imposition.

Speaker Om Birla adjourned the House within minutes till 12 noon. Hours after the Lok Sabha passed the Waqf Amendment Bill, Gandhi had said the Bill was “bulldozed” through in the lower house.

Congress set to challenge Waqf Bill in SC

The Congress said it would challenge the Waqf Amendment Bill, 2025, in the Supreme Court “very soon”.

In a post on X, General Secretary Incharge of Communication, Publicity and Media Jairam Ramesh recounted several past legal challenges the party has mounted to a range of controversial issues and how they remain pending.

“The INC’s challenge of the CAA, 2019, is being  heard in the Supreme Court. The INC’s challenge of the 2019 amendments to the RTI Act, 2005, is being heard in the Supreme Court. The INC’s challenge to the validity of the amendments to the Conduct of Election Rules (2024) is being heard in the Supreme Court. The INC’s intervention to uphold the letter and spirit of the Places of Worship Act, 1991, is being heard in the Supreme Court…

“The INC will very soon be challenging in the Supreme Court the constitutionality of the Wakf (Amendment) Bill, 2024,” Jairam said.

He said the party was confident and would continue to resist all “assaults” of the Narendra Modi government on the principles, provisions and practices that were contained in the Constitution of India.
