We’ll strongly oppose Criminality Clause: Congress MP K Suresh on Triple Talaq Bill

Jul 25, 2019

New Delhi, July 25 (ANI): While speaking to ANI on Triple Talaq Bill, Congress MP K Suresh said, “Yesterday, night they put in Triple Talaq Bill in today's agenda and postponed National Medical Commission Bill and DNA Technology (Use and Application) Regulation Bill without knowledge of Opposition. Why are they keeping it secret and putting in agenda at night? It is not correct for healthy Parliamentary system.” He further said, “As far as Triple Talaq Bill is concerned, Criminality Clause maybe misused by police and government. So, we'll strongly oppose Criminality Clause. If the government sticks to that, we'll ask for division.” Triple Talaq Bill will be tabled in Lok Sabha today. The new law provides for a three-year jail term for Muslim men who get an instant divorce by uttering ‘Talaq’ thrice.
