NEW DELHI: Overcoming strong disapproval of the opposition, the NDA govt passed the triple talaq bill on Thursday.
Opposing The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill with all his might, Hyderabad Member Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday took a pot-shot at the ruling dispensation for what he said showing 'double standards' on law-making and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take all women BJP MPs to Sabarimala Temple in Kerala.
"Please take all BJP women MPs to Sabarimala in a special aircraft,' the AIMIM lawmaker said while participating in the debate on the Bill in the Lok Sabha.
He ridiculed government's stand that this law was being brought at the directives of Supreme Court and said in such a case, the ruling dispensation should have brought laws with regard to mob lynching and Sabarimala.
The triple talaq bill criminalises instant divorce by Muslim husbands with up to three years of imprisonment.
