Most of the modifications sought by the opposition for the Amendments and referring to the select committee for the Triple Talaq bill have been negatived. Today the bill was put to voting in the Rajya Sabha. Now the Bill has been passed by both the houses.
The bill was supported by 99 votes and opposed by 84 votes.
The idea of referring the bill to select committee was rejected. The amendments were also rejected by the members.
When the bill was passed by voters, the members of the opposition sought for a division. When the LOP said that they opposed the Bill, the chairman Venkaiah Naidu said that they have all the rights to oppose.
Earlier the Triple Talaq bill was presented for the second time in the parliament. The bill was opposed by AIMIM Chief Asduddin Owaisi in the house. Owaisi has demanded division in the house.
Then the speaker took up the voting of the members with the slips. Majority of the members voted for the introduction of the Bill. Talking over the issue Owaisi that the BJP was for the Triple talaq bill to help the women but at Sabarimala, they are opposing the entry of women.
Why these double standards he questioned. This is nothing but vote bank politics Owaisi opined. The NDA Government has no interest in women or the Muslims, this is just for the sake of votes Owaisi alleged.
But the Government has got the mandate for the introduction of the bill in the parliament. It has to be seen what method they would adopt in the Upper house.
