Parliament Monsoon Session: Triple talaq bill tabled in LS amid protests; Bihar encephalitis also discussed

Firstpost  

The death of more than 130 children in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur district due to encephalitis also figured in the discussion in the Parliament. The central government on Friday introduced a fresh triple talaq Bill in Lok Sabha amid protests from the Opposition members who claimed that it was violative of the Constitution. The triple talaq Bill violates constitutional rights as it stipulates three-year jail term for guilty Muslim men while non-Muslim men get only one year of jail term for a similar offence, he said. “The government must probe if there is a conspiracy to harm the interest of Indian litchi farmers by linking the death of children due to AES in Muzaffarpur to the consumption of litchi,” he said. In the Upper House, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said that government has evolved a new scheme to provide social security pension of Rs 3,000 per month to farmers above the age of 60 years.
