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.

Chikkamgaluru, Feb 21: Wazi Noronha, aka, Vojald, the father of Amulya Leona Noronha, who lives in Koppa taluk of Chickmagalur district has said that he was shocked by his daughter’s pro-Pakistan slogans.

“Let her rot in jail. I don’t mind if police break her bones, I don’t support what she said and I will not approach lawyers for her bail. She has committed a grave mistake,” he said.

Amulya, a 19-year-old student activist, was booked for sedition yesterday after she raised ‘Long Live Pakistan’ slogans at a CAA-NRC rally. A visibly embarrassed Asaduddin Owaisi, AIMIM chief and MP tried to snatch the mic away from her and slammed her. Karnataka Police have registered a case under IPC Section 124A (Offence of sedition) against Amulya.

Mr. Wazi, who owns a two-acre areca plantation and runs a poultry farm, said he would not make any attempts to get her bail. “Let the law take its course. I cannot approve of her statement,” he said.

He said he had cautioned his daughter against getting involved in protests. “I told her to complete studies first and later she could fight for poor people. But what she said yesterday is not acceptable. I don’t know what made her so. I hope a probe would bring out who prompted her to make such statements,” he said.

Mr. Wazi also admitted that he was associated with BJP and had worked for saffronite leaders like Shobha Karandlaje and D N Jeevaraj.

Bengaluru, Mar 31: Bengaluru Central Crime Branch on Tuesday seized as many as 1,000 fake N95 masks amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

However, the police are yet to make arrests in the case.

Investigation in the case is underway and more details in this regard are awaited.

Recently, Noida Sub-Divisional Magistrate with a team from the Health department busted a fake sanitiser and mask factory.

Notably, the Central government recently had brought masks and hand sanitisers under the Essential Commodities Act up to June 30 as the novel coronavirus pandemic led to shortages and black marketing of these items.

Any person found guilty under the Act may be punished with imprisonment up to seven years or fine or both and can be detained for a maximum of six months.
