Congress showed its real face by promising to scrap Triple Talaq Bill: Modi


Jalpaiguri, Feb 8 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the Congress has exposed its 'real face' by promising to withdraw the Triple Talaq Bill, and accused the opposition party of "cheating" Muslim women who have suffered because of the practice.

"Congress, which has always lied about women's rights, has exposed its real face before the nation. Yesterday (Thursday) Congress publicly showed the extent they can go to appease the community," Modi said while addressing a rally at Churabhandar here.

"Whatever they may say, I would like to assure Muslim sisters and daughters that nobody will be allowed to scrap the Triple Talaq legislation. BJP is committed to safeguard the rights and give justice to women," he said.

Modi's remarks came a day after Congress women's wing chief Sushmita Dev promised to scrap the legislation banning Triple Talaq if the party wins the Lok Sabha elections.

"They (Congress) have openly said they would allow Triple Talaq to go on, let the Muslim women be exploited and oppose the law that would deter Triple Talaq. Congress said that if they come to power, they would scrap the law in case Modi manages to pass it", he said.

The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2018, has superseded an earlier Bill passed by the Lok Sabha and is pending in the Rajya Sabha.

"Congress has again shown they do not care about the Supreme Court which has already declared Triple Talaq as unconstitutional. During (late prime minister) Rajiv Gandhi's time, the mistake that the party made in the Shah Bano case, they are trying to repeat it all over again," Modi said.

The Prime Minister also slammed the opposition alliance as 'maha milawat' (grand adulteration) and said that it does not have any ideals or vision for the country.

"This grand adulteration is such an understanding that does not have any ideals or vision for the country...Yesterday (Thursday) when I mentioned the term 'maha milawat' in the Lok Sabha, these people created a ruckus. Their smiles vanished," he said.

Accusing the Congress of protecting fraudsters, touts and criminals, Modi said he will not let the conspiracy to safeguard the offenders succeed.

"Today all those immersed in corruption are afraid of Modi. I want to tell the parties of the "maha milawat" that Modi will not let you succeed in your attempts."

    A guy spots a sign outside a house that reads “Talking Dog for Sale.” Intrigued, he walks in.

    “So what have you done with your life?” he asks the dog.

    “I’ve led a very full life,” says the dog. “I lived in the Alps rescuing avalanche victims. Then I served my country in Kashmir. And now I spend my days reading to the residents of a cow care home.”

    The guy is flabbergasted. He asks the dog’s owner Modi, “Why on Earth would you want to get rid of an incredible dog like that?”

    The owner Modi says, “Because he’s a liar! He never did any of that!”.

    @Langool,

    Firstly, Jennifer did not support Triple Talaq in her comment. Did she?. She is just uncovering the hypocricy and double standards of Srimanji. It is about "baazu me chora aur saare gaavn me dhindora" attitude of Srimanji.

    Secondly, you first need to learn and identify the difference between " Triple Talaq" and " Triple Talaq Bill" and then you can put your comments. If someone opposes Triple talaq bill, it does not mean that he/ she is against Triple Talaq itself.

    At least Congress has sincerity to show its real face to the public. But BJp only appears with wearing mask of secularism; hiding its real face of RSs agenda.

    Modi should not be the one to talk about women's rights.
    The nation is still unsure if Modi deserted his helpless wife or whether his wife saw his reality and left him.

    Its some of the muslim women asking to abolish Tripple Talaq , as they live constantly on fear . For silly reasons they get divorced by uttering 3 times talaq or send it like by message. This is a big social issue which effects the entire indian society and govt needs to take care of these women later by providing bagyas ! If a hindu women abandon by husband , she can apply for a divorce fight for the justice , no one stopping her .

    @ Maria,

    In which part of the world you are living? Triple talaq is already banned in India. It is also banned practice in Islam as well. If some Muslims give triple talaq, then how can you relate those Muslims to Islam when the practice has no validity in Islam?

    The divorce for silly reasons what you said about is not limited to males only. It is happening from females' side also. When the government likes to bring the law, why the government is biased towards males only? Why there is no law against those wives who run from their husbands without even informing? What type of divorce is that according to your realization? Most civilized form of divorce?

    Furthermore, can you please explain what did you mean by divorce fight for justice?

    @Maria,

    Madam, How many times you have seen Muslims fighting with the government for Bhagyas?

    Did we get involved ourselves in violent protests demanding reservations; that included deaths and damage of public properties- like protests by Gujjars, Jats, Marathas, Patels and so many others?

    When you talk about Bhagyas; What percentage of Muslims you see among the people working in Government offices as part of reservation? 50%? 25? 10%?5? 3?. You won't even find that. Just don't say anything for the sake of saying to please your masters.

    Just answer,why Modi is not supporting Sabarimala where supreme court gave order about women entry?
    Can Modi be charged under the same law as he deserted his wife?
    After sending the men to jail is modi government going to take care of their wives?

    @Langool,

    Polygamy is a concept available to be used as an option in some cases of necessity. There is no extra reward reserved for practicing polygamy. There are many practical reasons for which marrying a second time is the best available option, without divorcing the first wife. Sometimes, one has to do that even when the husband likes his wife sincerely.

    Langoolacharya,

    What difference it makes if I, as an individual, support polygamy or monogamy ? Look at the person who brings an end to TT - he himself doesn't respect the institution of marriage. For him monogamy is null/void - what qualification does he have to question other peoples' marital status ? If he is actually a Brahmmachaari like Baba Ramdev or Yogi Adithyanath, perhaps we citizens would have respected him even more.

    Upon that, he taunts Congress isn't it a total polarization ?
