Sir — The Union Government must be complimented for taking a bold step to end Haj subsidy in one go. The bitter fact, however, remains that except the present ruling party at the Centre and some other small political groups, all other major political parties till date used to stick to minority-appeasing policy simply for vote-bank politics. The present Government has marched ahead with other bold steps towards women empowerment, like on triple talaq, which gave the minority women a sigh of relief where men in their community though publicly admitting a bad practice, but opposed legislation in this regard as some interference in religious matters.
The Union Government must now take steps to ban multi-marriage by a Muslim man to further step in welfare of Muslim women. It is noteworthy that even most Islamic countries do not allow multi-marriages by men.
