Kolkata: CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury on Friday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intention to oppose Triple Talaq.
“I would like to ask why he is showing sympathy towards Muslim women and not on those widows who are there in Vrindavan. What is his stand on Women’s Reservation Bill despite having majority in Lok Sabha?” he questioned.
Recently, PM Modi sought equal rights for Muslim women. “I believe that the reformers from the community will protect women from ill-effects of triple talaq. I am sure that reformers from the Muslim community will come forward and put an end to triple talaq," he had said.
Recently, Yechury met Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and discussed the issue. JDU leader Nitish Kumar also met her and spoke in favour of fielding a secular candidate.
Both the leaders requested Sonia to take the lead in consulting more leaders of Opposition parties on the issue.
