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.

ravi Insisting 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.

Mr. Shankar, let us discuss about this subject after UP election....not a nice time...you are speaking just to grab votes from muslim women....

Karnataka’s e-library mobile app sees exponential growth in downloads during covid-19 lockdown

April 11,2020

Bengaluru, Apr 11: Karnataka Library Department’s mobile application, which is said to be the first of its kind initiative in the country has seen an exponential growth in downloads during the COVID-19 lockdown, a senior Minister said on Friday. The main reason that the application is growing is due to the heavy students demand as schools and colleges are closed during the 21-day nationwide lockdown.

Students are relying on online material for their studies as they can’t step out of the house and risk being infected.

The Library Department's efforts to keep readers active through the lockdown time, by prompting them to utilise its e-initiatives is paying off, Primary and Secondary Education Minister Suresh Kumar said.

"The app is seeing exponential increase in downloads since its launch. As many as 16,500 people have taken it; while ten thousand people have downloaded it during this brief lock down time itself," he said.

E-library mobile app was released by the library department on February 26.

There are over one lakh e-books available on department's digital platform ranging from arts, humanity, school curriculum, competitive exams and self help to classic novels - all for free for the readers.

"Its needless to say, the variety of attractive content that is available in the app is creating all the buzz among the public. Not just the books, the app contains over 600 educational videos too," the Minister said in a statement.

Considering that over 16,500 readers have downloaded the app since its launch a couple of months back, its high time, we see this domain as an opportunity for growth, he said, and stressed on the need for better adaptability approaches to the changing times.
