From backing women’s fight against Triple Talaq to never being soft on terrorism: PM Modi’s I-Day speech

Op India  

As the nation awoke to the 71st year of its Independence, people tuned in to listen to the address of Prime Minister Narendra Modi from the historic Red Fort in Delhi. Modi decided to take a soft approach to Kashmir by stating that Gaali and goli will not bring about change in J&K and claimed that change would come after embracing every Kashmiri. He also possibly ruffled a few politically correct feathers by bringing in the issue of Triple Talaq in his speech. This was his statement: I pay my regards to the women who had to lead a pitiable life due to ‘triple talaq’ and have started a movement which has created an environment in the entire country against the practice Incidentally he didn’t elaborate over whether his government would bring in a law to outlaw the practice or move towards the much publicised Uniform Civil Code. In his speech he denounced violence in the name of faith and also urged 1.25 crore Indians to work for a new India bereft of terrorism, castiesm and regionalism.
