Alhamdulillah with the best efforts of the Muslim Personal Law Board, the Triple Talaq bill passed in the Lok Sabha has been abandoned and will not be presented in the Rajya Sabha.
The opposition parties particularly the Congress, the DMK, the ADMK, the Trinamul Congress, the Communist parties and others opposed this ill thought of divorce bill and supported the stand taken by the Indian Muslim community.
Muslim women in lakhs protested the government initiative to bring in changes in the Muslim personal law by peacefully agitating and arranging signature campaigns.
No doubt finally the government had to bow to the voice of the people and given up the bill.
While thanking the government for respecting the views of the opposition, we request it not to interfere in the Muslim personal law and not to ignore the Muslim personal law board which is a representative body of all sections of the Muslim community.
