“We Can’t Allow Triple ‘Talaq’. It Destroys The Lives Of Indian Muslim Women,” Says PM Modi

Amidst the raging debate of triple ‘Talaq’ which allows Muslims men to divorce women with just the utterance of this word three times, come a few words of wisdom from our very own Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.

At a rally in Mahoba, a district in the impoverished Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh, PM Modi touched upon this uber sensitive topic.

 

He said that the issue needs to be resolved with patience, understanding, and acceptance.

 

He said he was surprised that for votes political parties were ready to deprive the Muslim women of the whole country of their basic human right.

 

He asked people to stop politicizing this issue and not take it in a direction that leads nowhere.

 

He was accused by AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi of “converting the triple talaq issue into a political tool” in the forthcoming UP elections.

“Around 7.36 crore Muslims are married in the country and they have not divorced. Hardly one per cent of Muslims have gone for talaq. But, (Narendra) Modi is making this a tool in his ‘Mann ki Baat’ for political gains in view of the forthcoming elections.”

 

To which Modi responded with the most logical words.

The Centre is slowly but surely taking a humanitarian debate, public and in court into consideration

Acche din for Indian Muslim women?
