Modi Government, Not Rajiv Gandhi's: Minister After Triple Talaq Verdict | Read
"I am proud of Narendra Modi ji. He stood firmly behind those who are victims of triple talaq. And let me say this is Narendra Modi government, not Rajiv Gandhi government," said Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Tuesday. It was a swipe at the Congress, whose government under former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi had used its big majority to bring a law that set aside a Supreme Court order granting alimony to Muslim women in the Shah Bano case in 1985. It had done so after fierce opposition from influential Muslim leaders who said the court's verdict was against Muslim law.
