RJD MLC sparks controversy over Waqf Bill remark
Patna (PTI): RJD MLC Mohammad Qari Sohaib courted controversy on Saturday by saying that if Tejashwi Yadav becomes Bihar's chief minister, "all Bills will be torn apart, including the Waqf Bill".
He made the remark while addressing a public meeting in Parbatta assembly constituency in support of RJD candidate and sitting MLA Sanjeev Kumar.
"People must vote for the INDIA bloc to make Tejashwi Yadav the CM of Bihar. Lessons will be taught to those who supported the Waqf Bill in Parliament. All NDA partners supported the Bill… if Tejashwi Yadav becomes CM, all Bills will be torn apart, including the Waqf Bill," Qari Sohaib said.
"INDIA bloc government will stand for love, unity, and brotherhood. Vote for INDIA bloc only," he added.
Soon after the RJD leader's comments went viral on social media, BJP’s national IT in-charge Amit Malviya posted on X, "From the RJD platform, an announcement — if Tejashwi Yadav becomes CM, they will end the Waqf law. The law will remain, but the intention to loot the land is clear. This is exactly what RJD’s jungleraaj is."
No senior RJD leaders were available for comments on Qari Sohaib’s remarks.

NEET student hangs self in Rajasthan's Sikar
Jaipur (PTI): A student preparing for the NEET examination allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in a rented room in Rajasthan's Sikar on Friday, police said.
According to the police, the student allegedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan using his sister's scarf while one sister was attending coaching classes and the other was in the bathroom.
He had appeared in the NEET UG exam 2026, which was cancelled due to paper leak, they said.
Udyog Nagar SHO Rajesh Kumar said that the deceased, identified as Pradeep Meghwal, was a resident of Kanika ki Dhani village in Jhunjhunu's Gudha Gaudji area.
He had been living in a rented room in Sikar's Jaldhari Nagar area with his two sisters while preparing for NEET over the last three years.
His elder sister later found him hanging and informed the landlord and police after bringing him down, officials said.
The SHO said the body was kept at SK Hospital mortuary, and a postmortem had not been conducted.
The student's father, Rajesh Kumar Meghwal, told police that Pradeep's NEET examination had gone well and the family was expecting him to score around 650 marks.
Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot expressed grief over the incident and linked it to anxiety among students after reports of irregularities and paper leaks in NEET 2026.
Pilot said repeated paper leak incidents and cancellation of examinations were affecting students' mental health and demanded a time-bound investigation and strict action against those responsible.
