NEW DELHI: Noted lyricist-poet Javed Akhtar today said that there should be an immediate ban on the practice of triple talaq but uniform civil code should be implemented only after proper discussion.
When asked about his opinion on the topic that has been in the headlines, Akhtar said he has been vocal against the issue for many years.
“I have always spoken against these things. Triple talaq should be banned immediately in any civil society. As far as uniform common civil code is concerned, I am not sure how far this is possible because our country is huge,” he said while addressing a session at the Sahitya AajTak event.
Akhtar said India has many traditions, cultures and sub-cultures and bringing them under one law would be a mammoth task.
“The Government should make a draft of civil code and put it on the net. There should be a draft, only then a discussion is possible. It should be disucssed for a year. (AGENCIES)
