Don’t politicise Triple Talaq, it’s not just a Hindu-Muslim

Talking about the rights of Muslim women, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that the issue of Triple Talaq should not be politicised. “Is it fair for a man to say ‘talaaq’ thrice over the phone and a Muslim woman’s life to be ruined? This issue shouldn’t be politicised,” said PM Modi at a rally in Mahoba (Uttar Pradesh). He criticised both politicians and people on TV debates saying such discussions on Triple Talaq would keep women “bereft of their rights”.
