Don't politicise triple talaq issue: Congress

  •   Tue, Apr 18 2017 09:46:08 AM

New Delhi, April 18 (IANS): The Congress on Monday said that the issue of triple talaq was sub-judice and it should not be used to gain political mileage.

Noting Congress has been in the forefront of gender reforms, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said: "Congress always stands for gender justice for Muslim women also. The Supreme Court is actively seized of the matter. The matter is sub-judice. Everyone has promised to abide by the SC verdict."

"There is no reason to preempt it, influence it, overpower it or sensationalise it before the verdict. There should not be an attempt to derive political capital from it," he added.

He also said that Congress stood for empowerment of women, rights for the women and equality for women.

    Sir,I have no political affiliation. I am just normal citizen of India.

    Gentleman, My tough question seems to be more powerful than 'Burnol. If I am not wrong DW is the platform and the question for the Yogi and his BJP .

    Gentleman, I am growing old. No father like his daughter get divorced. It may be any religion she belongs to. But BJP obsession on the issue is purely politically motivated.
    I once challenge RSS and Yogi if their intention is women empowerment then address the key issues which statistically have more implication than 'Triple Talaq'.
    Once again repeat,Where was CM Yogi and his Hindu Yuva vahini alias anti romeo's, when BJP ruled state of Madhya Pradesh where many 'Draupadi's' being disrobed? Why BJP has failed to protect those women in their own states from sexual abuses? Why can't Yogi failed when femal feticide kills the daughters in illegal abortion clinics? Why can't 'Durga squad' or 'anti Romeos' can't rehabilitate many sisters selling their skin for living? Why can't they stop someone's loving daughter getting killed for dowry?
    Gentleman, Stop sobbing for the divorced Muslim women. Why don't you set an example of marrying a divorced Hindu woman with kids and give her decent life? Are you ready accept someone's daughter without Horoscope match making who was not got married for years?

    In 2014 Lok Sabha election BJP has promised the nation of corruption free 'developed' India.
    Since PM Modi's 3 years ruling has already over, party has nothing to show to the nation but successfully using the contentious issues like 'cow' , 'Triple Talaq' 'nationalism' to divert the attention from main agenda.
    Poor Indians like Aamir Khan's 'Ghajini' syndrome swayed by the mass media believe what they say by fooling the entire nation.
    How does UP CM Yogi who has no family of his own or PM Modi having his own wife abandon is not questioned by the media?
    Whereas Muslim Munch of RSS minority faction who are behind this drive for political gain is become hot topic of the nation. Party which has not even honored one ticket for minority in the recently concluded UP elections is know sobbing for the divorced Muslim women.
    Where was CM Yogi and his Hindu Yuva vahini alias anti romeo's, when BJP ruled state of Madhya Pradesh where many 'Draupadi's' being disrobed? Why BJP has failed to protect those women in their own states from sexual abuses? Why can't Yogi failed when femal feticide kills the daughters in illegal abortion clinics?

    We can understand. Your frustration. You and your congress party has realised that if triple talaq is banned all credit goes to BJP because of which your party is going to lose major share of Muslim women votes which was your traditional vote bank.

    Instead of questioning in DW, why don't you meet some victims of triple talaq and put all these questions to them ? They will give the answer to you in such a way, that you will never get such questions in your wildest dream in your life time.

    There is no Instant TALAQ TALAQ TALAQ and the wife gets divorce in Islam. But, some ignorant Muslims does that mostly in north India.
    The actual process of Talaq in Islam is a long process of Months all together. After pronouncing the first talaq, there is time for come back, patch up, reconciliation etc., after months of waiting then the second talaq, then again same process. If still they do not want to continue their marriage together, then it's time for 3rd pronouncing Talaq and it's FINAL. This process may take nearly a year. Not easy like what it said TALAQ TALAQ TALAQ.

    Congress lost a golden opportunity under Rajiv Gandhi when the SC recommended his Govt. to consider bringing about laws for gender and social equality finally paving way for uniform civil code. This was the time when a victim of triple talaq sought govt. intervention in getting justice. But her requests and appeals went unheeded purely for political reasons. Now what kind of politicization is Singhvi talking about? We highly appreciate the Modi Govt.’s bold decision to bring UCC and equality in society.

    Bro, no one should have problem with others dress code food habbit or practices..but problem arises when secularism forced on people..now a days to practice secularism we have to act like Atheist..we have to leave the concept of the secularism and adopt concept of multiculturism.SC can only decide not others..people have different view, but its not binding on courts..courts have their own view..everything can be challenged..

    There was no necessity for congress to make such statement and add fuel to fire. Its Supreme court that has asked government to speak out ! What you expect from Modi government?. Government may say yes or no. that's all. The ball is in SC court.
    Its better media and politician shut their mouth and let government answer to SC requirement. Ultimately SC will advise.
    Congress is raking up the issue, because it saw the light at the end of tunnel, now worried that someone may get political mileage.
    What ever said and done, I opine the government and court to take the related community in to confidence and through discussion may find a solution. Enforcement can not be a solution, even though universally it may sound rightful now, but the sentiments of community should not be hurt as we are pluralistic democratic society..

    i feel that congress itself politicizing these issues just for their vote bank, 60 year they used us like anything and want to re use now.
    BJP have a stand that it work under Hinduthva, does congress have any standard? no, they turn where ever they get more benefit.
    i dont blame BJP for not supporting Muslims in many issue because they are not using Muslims as vote bank, but i question congress for using double standard on Muslims despite using us for vote.

    ..do you know whats the whole issue is..its the womens who are filed personal cases in various courts, in various states (MODI not even MLA by then)..finally it reached SC and several NGOs joined (once again MODI nothing to do with it)..since more than a decade hearing going on (SC given historic decision on shah banu case also)..millions womens signed pitition..last year SC asked Govt whats their stand on tripple talaq, GOVT said its not in the interest of women and against basic rights..now its upto the SC to decide, not the Govt or PM or specifically MODI..you should know that even if Govt supports talaq, SC may take different view as it took in Jallikattu,Kambla or Beef..in hurry to oppose MODI, please dont colour it..its judicial matter, court will give judgement not MODI..

    When Muslim women complaints against or request the Govt of the day to protect them from this social evil, Govt is duty bound to protect them and they are doing their duty very well.

    Regarding Modijis wife, has she filed any complaint against her husband saying he has cheated her ? Is there any demand from her asking her husband to pay for her livelihood ? If the answer to above questions is NO, then you are shamelessly poking nose in to others affairs.

    ..Congress policy, politicise every other issues YOGA/SANKRIT/SHANI TEMPLE, SHABARIMALA but dont politicise TALAQ eventhough its affecting millions of women all over INDIA..let us not think it as tit for tat..there is no basis for opposition on ban since its already banned in more than 21 countries incl., Pakistan/Bangladesh..its not like temple entry ban from 2 or 3 temples, talaq affects millions of poor women..many sects incl., SHIA board already supported ban but a dominant sect only opposing..

    Sati system was banned by the British. If sati can be banned, why not triple talaq since both practices negatively affects women. One kills a woman, the other breaks a living woman.

    When you don't know the religion you must not comment...... there are some guidelines for talaq in Islam. A man must not divorce his wife to bring harm upon her, as this constitutes an act that demolishes this noble establishment, breaks the woman’s heart, and possibly separates the woman from her children without any reason. Thus, the separation between a man and his wife [without just reason] was considered one of the major and grave sins, and one of the most beloved actions of Satan, as was narrated in a number of hadiths. It is also forbidden for a woman to ask for a divorce without a sensible reason. Just giving reason that talaq is allowed than giving talaq is a sin. There are some conditions for 2nd or 3rd marriage in Islam. But some people take advantage that if you say triple talaq than you can divorce your wife or if you see a good or beautiful lady and you want to marry her by divorcing your wife is a sin.

    shan,

    Whatever you said it pointless. You yourself said ''When you don't know the religion you must not comment''

    Are you a religious scholar with authority? Do all other fellow believers have the exact same opinion about it as you do? probably no. so why you comment?

    ...banning doesnt mean interfering, if so Triple Talaq has been discarded by several Muslim majority countries, including Turkey, Pakistan and Bangladesh..are they less learned about faith!!..there may be many restriction but it was not followed, thats why they banned it..let us be aware that there some tradition or practices in every religion which immensely affects particularly poor women, they are the one who bear burns..as far as Congress is concerned, women empowerment is in speech only..
