The claim
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.
Original review summary
FACTLY reports that no vote took place on the Waqf Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha; instead, a motion to refer it to a Joint Parliamentary Committee was adopted. It says the bill was referred to the committee for consideration, so the claim about 232 votes in favour is unsupported by the parliamentary proceedings reviewed.[S1]
Additional context
The review says the referral motion was adopted on 08 August 2024 and that a 31-member committee was formed on 09 August 2024. [S1]
