Triple Talak bill passing in Rajya Sabha today is a boon or bane to Muslim women: Triple Talak is criminal offence soon as the Rajya Sabha passes the contentious bill today with the vote count 84 against and 99 favouring it. Sampathya Uikey, a BJP MP termed it as a Rakshabandan gift to the Muslim sisters of India. Also, today a rape accused BJP MLA of UP was booked for trying to kill the 19-year-old victim girl.
What happened in Rajya Sabha today to pass the Triple Talaq bill?
The BJP without majority had to wait for a long time to pass the bill in Rajya Sabha. But even with only 102 MPs in the Rajya Sabha how did it pass the bill today is many peoples' question. It is because it needs a minimum of 121 votes to pass the bill in the house of 245 MPs of which parties members elect 233 and 13 nominated MPS.
AIADMK & JD(U) walk out to pass the Triple Talaq bill:
The ten MPs of the AIADMK and six MPs of the Janata Dal-United or JD(U) walked out of the house to favour the passing of the Triple Talaq bill. The BJD, YSRP Congress and the TRS voted in favour of the Government. TRS is in alliance with AIMM in Telangana and surprisingly voted in favour of the bill. AIADMK being the puppet of the BJP paved way by walking out of the house to be safe from not voting in favour but helping the BJP to pass the bill. The motion to send the bill to the select committee by the opposition was defeated by 99 against it and only 84 in favour of it.
