Opinion | Aaj Ki Baat July 30 episode: Historic passage of Triple Talaq Bill will act as a deterrent

India TV News  

It was a historic day in Parliament, when the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday passed the Muslim Women Bill by 84 votes to 99. The second argument put forth was that triple talaq could be declared illegal, but it should not be declared a cognizable offence punishable with imprisonment. With the passage of Triple Talaq Bill, the Modi government has crossed a big barrier that had been erected by Congress and other opposition parties in Rajya Sabha over the last five years. On Tuesday, when the Triple Talaq bill was passed, AIADMK, Janata Dal, TRS, PDP, BSP and TDP stayed away from voting by staging walkout, while Biju Janata Dal supported the bill. The passage of Triple Talaq Bill thus marks a clear victory for the BJP, and a defeat for the Congress in Rajya Sabha.
