Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office, Jitendra Singh has asked women politicians to support the triple talaq bill brought in Parliament by the Narendra Modi government.

Talking to reporters outside Parliament yesterday, the minister said, it is appalling to see some of the prominent women politicians also throwing their weight behind those who are opposing the abolition of triple talaq.

Singh said, the triple talaq legislation is one of the many revolutionary decisions taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi which will bring relief to a large number of silently suffering Muslim women in India.
