Opposition to Triple Talaq bill exposes liberals, Congress; fundamentalist vote bank its priority: Jaitley

India TV News  

Former finance minister Arun Jaitley on Wednesday said opposition to the triple talaq bill "exposed pseudo-liberals" as he hit out at the Congress for giving higher priority to "fundamentalist" vote bank than justice to women. After all, the fundamentalist vote bank is a higher priority than justice being conferred to the female gender," Jaitley said. Justifying the provision of punishment in the law, he said such measures will have a strong deterrent effect for those who want to use the weapon of triple talaq. Talking about the rights of an individual and customs of the society, Jaitley, who himself is a lawyer, said it is long overdue that the courts re-examine whether the rights of a citizen being deprived on the grounds of personal law violate the constitutional guarantees.
