Triple talaq is anevil social practice', will end it for sure: Law Minister

February 6, 2017

Ghaziabad, Feb 6: The Centre is likely to take “a major step” to ban the controversial triple talaq after the ongoing Assembly polls, Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has said and dared the Samajwadi Party, the Congress and the Bahujan Samaj Party to make their stand clear on the contentious issue.

raviInsisting that the issue is not related to religion but involves respect and dignity of women, he said the government “respects faith but worship and social evil cannot coexist.”

He said the tradition of triple talaq denies respect to women and the central government was committed to ending the “evil social practice.”

“The government may take a major step to ban triple talaq after the UP Assembly polls,” he said while addressing a press conference in Ghaziabad on Saturday evening.The Assembly polls being held in UP and four other states will conclude on March 11.

Asserting that “every pernicious practice” cannot be part of a religion, the minister, who is a lawyer himself, said the Centre would raise the issue in the Supreme Court on three points -- justice, equality and dignity of women.

“We are the only party which respects women. Neither do other parties offer a good place to women nor do they respect them,” said Mr Prasad, a senior BJP leader.

“The government respects faith but worship and social evil cannot coexist,” he said.

Addressing a press conference in Lucknow on Sunday, the union minister said: “I want Akhilesh Yadav, Rahul Gandhi and Mayawati to clarify their stand on the issue of triple talaq. Our (the BJP's) stand is very clear. The issue is not related to religion but involves respect and dignity of women.”

Attacking the BSP, he said it should rise above caste politics and respect women.

Dear Ravi Shankar, where were u when hundreds of muslim women were butchered in Gujarat, why cant you give justice to Ahsaan Jafry wife, where is Najeeb and why are u closing eyes while Najeeb's mom is requesting for justice. You are a crocodile and Lomli. You have already fooled Naqwi + Shahnawaz and trying to fool others also. You will not get success in this. You are a hypocrite and opportunist. You may marry those women who are contacting you regarding the issue as they are not respecting Islam and may be ready to marry you.

First give justice to Mrs.Jaffery for burning her husband alive. Give justice to honorable MP E. Ahmed's family for disrespecting his death.

In islam women's are getting more respect,dignity and protection than any other religion. Study religion of islam in its right path then you will understand the beauty of Islam.

Lucknow, Apr 13: Muslims in Uttar Pradesh are now worried that the intense communal profiling of the Corona patients by the official agencies could lead to lynching incidents once the lockdown is lifted.

Muslim scholar and former SP spokesman, Abdul Hafiz Gandhi, on Monday said, "The manner in which the government agencies are identifying persons belonging to Tablighi Jamaat in the list of Covid-19 patients is now translating into intense communal profiling which has been prohibited by the World Health Organization and the central government. A very small percentage of Muslims subscribe to the Tablighi Jamaat ideology but the impression going around is that the Muslim community, in general, is spreading coronavirus."

He said that there was a strong possibility of Muslims, in general, being attacked after the lockdown is lifted.

"This is exactly what happened on the cow slaughter issue. Even a small rumour led to people being lynched by mobs across the country. Corona is a pandemic and should be treated like one. We should fight against the virus together instead of creating a communal divide. Every day, the government spokesman lays down the number of Corona positive cases and then goes on to say how many of them are from Tablighi Jamaat," he explained.

Amir Haider, a social activist and also a veteran Congress leader, echoed similar sentiments when he said, "We strongly condemn the Tablighi Jamaat for ignoring the protocols and holding the congregation but why is the state government repeatedly harping on the religious angle. Shia and Sunni clerics are repeatedly asking the people to adhere to government guidelines and follow safety protocols.

He said that efforts to create a communal divide on the corona issue could have dangerous ramification after the lockdown is lifted."

A retired IAS officer, who did not wish to be named, said, that people have already started objecting to taking home deliveries from Muslim employees.

"My neighbours refused to take delivery of groceries from a Muslim boy. This is just the beginning of the narrative that is being drilled into the minds. We must check this before it explodes into something very dangerous," he said.

Bengaluru, Jul 1: Veteran actor and comedian, Rajagopal, who was known for his outstanding mimicry skills in Sandalwood breathed his last on the night of July 1, that is yesterday. He was one of the favourite comedians among the audiences and is said to have been suffering from kidney and asthma problems.

He passed away at his residence in Bangalore.

The well-recognised comedian has worked in more than 600 movies in his career, along with Tamil movies. The actor was active in the film industry since 1983 and had acted with many stars like Vishnuvardhan, Ambareesh, Prabhakar among others. He is also known for mimicking actress Kalpana's voice very well.

Recently, he also had claimed that new directors, new producers in the Kannada film industry had not been calling veterans to play parts in their movies and preferring fresh talent. He also had been going through a financial crisis due to the lockdown. Rajagopal has also worked in TV serials for some time in his career.  He has acted in super hit movies like, ‘Real Police’, ‘Sadakaru’, ‘Goosi Gang’, ‘Super Police’, and others as well.

The lockdown has seen the demise of many South Indian stars. Chiranjeevi Sarja too passed away last month, leaving the industry in shock. Now, a famous comedian's demise has also saddened the industry further.
