A relative asked me : ‘What is happening on triple talaq? Why all parties are keeping quiet except BJP ?’
I wrote back to him : I read the supreme court judgement delivered in 2017. It said that triple talaq was in contravention of an earlier law and an earlier judgement so was set aside until the legislature made an appropriate law. Then I saw Asaddudin Owaissi’s views on the ordinance promulgated by the Government.
I find him right on this, as in most other observation he makes. He says that when adultery and gay relationships have been decriminalized in india, it is silly of the central govt. to make a law send to jail a man because he pronounced the words talaq 3 times ! Simply making it ineffectual – that is, it no longer dissolves a marriage, is enough. Which is as much what the court said in its judgement. He says there are millions of women in our country, muslim and otherwise, who have been abandoned and lack sufficient societal support. He would welcome a fund for the support of all such women if the central government really wanted to express compassion towards them.
It is obvious the BJP set out not to help abandoned muslim women, but to make it a faltu talking point which is how someone like you becomes concerned about it ! in a country where millions of indians are without water, without food, it is criminal of a political party to waste all our time like this. But ofcourse bettering our lot isnt BJP’s focus. WHATEVER subject you pick, once you investigate below their glib talk, this is what you find.
Please don’t be misled by the noise made by the hindu right on the name of Owaissi. Yes his brother Akbaruddin said some rash things a few years ago when highly provoked by the hindu right. But Asaddudin is one of our finest politicians where public speaking and thoughts on how to solve our problems is concerned. I have heard many of his speeches in and out of parliament. They are all on youtube. You can listen to him on other subjects yourself if you like. I havent tracked his administrative skills yet though.
While on the point of demonisation, have you seen bal thackeray or the many heads of the hydra headed sangh pariwar, similarly demonised ? they say totally unacceptable things about india and indians, day in and day out, 365 days a year, but BJP feels comfortable with all this objectionable talk !
