Sonia Gandhi ticks off Congress MPs over Talaq Bill

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: The newly-elected Congress Members of Parliament in Lok Sabha who voted against the introduction of the controversial Triple Talaq Bill when a division vote was called for have been ticked off by none other than CPP leader Sonia Gandhi for not being aware of the correct stand of the Congress Party on the Bill. The move to educate MPs about the Triple Talaq Bill was part of Congress’s efforts to finally get its act together in Parliament following the massive drubbing it got in the Lok Sabha polls where it had managed to improve its tally by a mere 9 seats from 44 to 53. CPP leader Mrs Gandhi has asked the Lok Sabha MPs to meet every morning to discuss the day’s agenda and the party’s stand on various issues. Mrs Gandhi has also directed Party Leader in the Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and Chief Whip K Suresh to appoint separate coordinators from each state to deal with their particular issues, the sources said.
