New Delhi:
The Triple talaq bill that was cleared by the Lok Sabha last week was discussed briefly in the Rajya Sabha today after continued disruption over the protests in Maharashtra. The house was however adjourned before it could make any progress. The landmark bill that makes instant "triple talaq" a criminal offence was forwarded to the Rajya Sabha. Several parties including the Congress, the Left and the two big parties from Tamil Nadu, AIADMK and the DMK, have been in favour of sending the bill to a panel of parliamentarians for review . The government hopes to build consensus in the Upper House where it lacks majority.
