Muslim women hold protest against Triple Talaq Bill

Aurangabad, Mahrashtra, Mar 24: Thousands of Muslim women held a rally here on Friday protesting against the Centre's Triple Talaq Bill.

As per the order issued by the Muslim Personal Law Board, the morcha was taken out from AamKhas Maidan to Divisional Commissioner Office in a disciplined manner.
Organising Committee Convenor said the Act was against the provision of right of freedom of expression and religion enshrined in the Indian Constitution and accused the central government of polarising Muslim community.
It was also alleged that the Act was drafted without taking the Muslim Community in confidence.
They said if the bill got passed through the Rajya Sabha, Muslim women could not live with dignity and would have no
freedom.
Some speakers said they wanted to live as per the Muslim Personal Law and the government should not interfere into the matter.
Later, a memorandum was submitted to the Divisional Commissioner. Their main demands were to delete the Para on the Muslim Women from Presidents address to the Parliament, to advise the Central and State Governments not to hurt the sentiments of the second largest community of the country and as it was a defective bill, the bill should be forwarded to Select Committee. UNI
