Modi Government On Triple Talaq

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday questioned the Congress's respect for the Constitution and said Muslim women have suffered under its rule as he referred to the Rajiv Gandhi government overturning the Supreme Court judgment in the Shah Bano

Asserting that his government's decision to ban triple talaq has boosted overall sense of security for Muslim women, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked BJP leaders to reach out to them during the upcoming festival of Raksha Bandhan.

There has been about 82 per cent decline in triple talaq cases since the law against the "social evil" was put in place, Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said on Wednesday, terming August 1, when the legislation came into being as, "Muslim women's rights day".

In a sharp attack on the Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in parliament today that if his government had followed the same path and pace as the past 70 years, Article 370 and Triple Talaq would not have gone, and the Ayodhya temple-mosque dispute would not have ended.

Citing his government's decisions to provide ownership rights to residents of unauthorised colonies in Delhi, to enact a law against triple talaq, and to abrogate Article 370, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said it was "his destiny" to end uncertainties in the lives of people.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today borrowed a quote from a Shah Rukh Khan-starrer to claim that his cabinet's achievements in its first 100 days in governance were just a "trailer", and the complete picture would emerge in the years to come. "Before the elections, I had promised to create a strong and work-oriented government -- a government that w...

In the first hundred days, Modi has visited 12 countries. India's sterling performance on the diplomatic front became visible in the aftermath of the strategic air strike on Balakot and the abrogation of Article 370. Pakistan was isolated, India received universal support.

On the completion of Modi-government's 100 days at centre, 17 Union Ministers will reach out to the people to make them aware of the important decisions taken by the government in this short period.

The bill to ban Triple Talaq, opposed bitterly since the idea was floated in the first term of the Narendra Modi government, unexpectedly passed the Rajya Sabha test today. Despite the shortage of numbers in the NDA, the opposition crumbled. While the stand of the non-aligned parties helped the bill, what further aided it was a huge hole in the opp...

The Narendra Modi government's flagship bill to ban instant Triple Talaq passed smoothly through the opposition-dominated Rajya Sabha on Tuesday, aided by a long list of absentees, abstentions and walkouts. Prominent among them was Mehbooba Mufti's People's Democratic Party, whose two lawmakers abstained despite their party leader's repeated assura...

Parliament today passed the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2019. The upper house earlier rejected the motion to send the contentious triple talaq bill - that makes instant triple talaq a criminal offence - to select committee for further scrutiny. The passage of the bill was supported by a non-aligned Biju Janata Dal, while N...

A fresh bill to outlaw the Muslim practice of a man divorcing his wife instantly by uttering "talaq" thrice, which got stalled in the upper house of parliament and lapsed, was introduced in the Lok Sabha today. The government countered the opposition's charge that it was a "discriminatory" bill by pointing out that the Supreme Court's order ...

Parliament's first session after the national elections begins today, during which the government will present the Union budget and introduce several key bills. The budget will be presented by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on July 5. The interim budget was announced ahead of the elections in February. Ahead of the parliament session, Pr...

BJP ally Janata Dal (United) Friday opposed the triple talaq bill, which is likely to be tabled by the Narendra Modi government in the upcoming Parliament session, and said any view should not be imposed on Muslims without wide consultations.

From a counsel holding the brief for the deity ''Ram Lalla'' in the Ayodhya title suit to a moderniser spearheading the ''Digital India'' initiative and clamping down on contentious practices like instant triple talaq, BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad has worn many hats.
