After the Lok Sabha passed a Bill criminalising the practice of instant Triple Talaq in the community, Sanjay Singh, a senior Aam Aadmi Party leader accused Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) for making political gains by posing itself as the champion of Muslim women’s cause.
Singh, who is a Rajya Sabha MP, said it is beyond comprehension why the BJP was bent on penal provision for triple talaq when the practice had already been ruled illegal by the Supreme Court.
Targeting BJP Singh said that BJP is seeking political gains through this Bill by posing itself as a champion of Muslim women’s cause.
“What about the large number of Hindu women who face rape, murder and dowry death across the country,” said Singh.
“This bill will end all possibilities of reunion of a broken family as a man sent to jail for divorcing through instant triple talaq will never go back to his wife,” he said.
