LUCKNOW: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president Asaduddin Owaisi has termed the triple talaq bill as a conspiracy against Muslim community and a move to punish men. He asked Muslims to socially boycott people who take the instant triple talaq route to divorce.
“It is a tactic to bring out the women of the community on roads and send men to prison,” Owaisi said at a public meeting on Monday, according to media reports.
Meanwhile, in the recently concluded winter session, the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2017 was passed by the Lok Sabha but could not be passed in the Rajya Sabha with the opposition demanding that it should be sent to a select committee for a detailed scrutiny.
“The BJP wants a Muslim-free India and this would not happen,” he said and urged the people from his community and the Dalits to wake up and raise their voice against injustice.
