Rahul Gandhi’s Congress prevents party MP Asrarul Haque from voicing against Talaq Bill

Senior Congress leader and Member of Parliament Maulana Mohammad Asrarul Haque has obliquely criticised the party high command for not allowing him to voice against the controversial Talaq Bill, which was passed by the Lok Sabha earlier this week in spite of severe opposition from Muslim women across Indian.

Haque, who represents Bihar’s Kishanganj seat in the parliament, said in an interview that the so called Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill is not only against the Islamic Shariah but also against Indian constitution and Muslim women of the country. 

Muslim scholars across India including women have termed the Bill draconian which can snatch the fundamental rights of Muslim men and women if implemented. The Bill proposes three year jail term for a husband (only if he is a Muslim) if his wife accuses him of giving her instant triple talaq.

The Bill, a brainchild of BJP, was passed in Lok Sabha last Thursday with the support of Rahul Gandhi led Congress party. The Bill is likely to sail through the Rajya Sabha too if Congress continues to support it. 

75-year-old Haque, who is also the Bihar state president of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, said that he would never accept his party’s stance on the controversial Bill.  He also said that he wanted to vote against it but couldn’t reach the Parliament on time due to traffic jam. “I am sad that my party did not allow me to speak against the Bill in the parliament. I request my party to oppose the Bill at least in Rajya Sabha,” he said.

Bengaluru, Aug 3: All those who met Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, who has tested positive for Covid-19, in the last three-four days will have to be quarantined, Medical Education Minister Sudhakar K said on Monday.

He also said those who came in contact with Yediyurappa in a couple of programmes in the past week are being traced.

Sudhakar, a medical doctor himself, said Yediyurappa has "very mild cough and his chest is clear."

"I think eight to ten days," he told news agency when asked how long the Chief Minister would have to remain in hospital.

Sudhakar said he is also getting himself tested as a few of his office staff had tested positive.

"All those who met the Chief Minister in the last 3-4 days...ideally they should be quarantined till they receive their results/report. Those who came in contact with him in a couple of programmes will have to isolate themselves and subject themselves for testing," the Minister said.

On the Chief Minister meeting Governor Vajubhai Vala, along with Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai last Friday, Sudhakar said as a result "They also become primary contacts. Ideally, they should also be quarantined and tested."

Yediyurappa who was hospitalised on Sunday night after testing positive for Covid-19 was "doing well" and is "clinically stable", the hospital treating him said.

The 77-year old leader is being monitored by a team of doctors at the Manipal hospital here.

"He is doing well, is clinically stable and will be monitored closely by our team," the hospital said in a statement late last night.

"I have tested positive for coronavirus. Whilst I am fine, I am being hospitalised as a precaution on the recommendation of doctors. I request those who have come in contact with me recently to be observant and exercise self-quarantine," Yediyurappa had said in his tweet.

Yediyurappa was in home quarantine a couple of weeks ago, after some staff members in his home office were found infected with the virus. Subsequently, he tested negative for Covid-19.

Bengaluru, Apr 19: A recent government order prohibiting congregations, Ramadan prayers is discriminatory and needs to be withdrawn, JD(S) MLC B M Farookh has demanded.

In a letter to the chief secretary, Farookh pointed out that the order contained certain conditions such as restriction of the use of public address system and delivering Azan in low decibels, which had nothing to do with the prevention of Covid-19 disease.

“These days, Azan includes a call for the community to pray at home and does not offer namaz at mosque. The order also prohibits preparation and distribution of porridge, which has always been taken up in the interest of the poor. The High Court has noted that the relief distribution by NGOs or individuals should not be prevented and the state machinery has to coordinate the same by ensuring social distancing. The ban on distribution of porridge by mosques amounts to discrimination. The order needs to be withdrawn or revisited,” he wrote in his letter.

Further, observing that a religious fair was conducted in Kalaburagi recently, in violation of the government’s social distancing norms, Farookh sought the government to ensure that social distancing norms are enforced with regard to festivals of all communities without discrimination.
