Union Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday advocated the abolition of 'triple talaq', saying it was a form of gender discrimination and against constitutional principles.
"Gender discrimination must come to an end. We are a civilised society, we are a democratic country; why should there be gender discrimination? Triple talaq is gender discrimination and
against the principles of Constitution," the Union Information and Broadcasting Minister told the media in New Delhi. "Why should those helpless women be penalised for somebody
else's fault. That is why the BJP, the government, is strongly in favour of ending the practice of triple talaq," said Naidu. His comments came a day after Prime Minister Narendra
Modi, in his first comments on the controversial issue, said the government and society should ensure justice to Muslim women and not let their lives be destroyed by triple talaq.
