New Delhi, July 31 (ANI): Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, Ghulam Nabi Azad said on Wednesday that they (oppositions) were kept in dark before passing the triple talaq bill. “My submission is that on one side you (NDA government) seek list from Opposition – bills to be sent to Select Committee – but you don’t come back to us, and you get it passed. You tell your people to be present and we remain under the illusion that the bill is going to the Select Committee. This is not done,” said Ghulam Nabi Azad in Rajya Sabha. Speaking specifically about the bills that passed recently, he said, “The Bill that was discussed yesterday (Muslim Women Protection of Rights on Marriage Bill, 2019) and Bill listed no.2 today (Unlawful Activities Prevention Amendment Bill) were listed to go to the Select Committee.
