NEW DELHI: Notwithstanding the Opposition stalling the passage of the contentious triple talaq bill, the Government is set to push for its nod in the Rajya Sabha in the Budget Session, asserting that it is committed to it.
Briefing reporters at the conclusion of the Monsoon Session, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ananth Kumar also attacked the Congress, which had not opposed the bill in Lok Sabha but voiced its strong opposition in the Upper House.
Congress president Rahul Gandhi talks about woman empowerment but “runs away” when it comes to acting on this, Kumar said.
In the Rajya Sabha, the Congress everyday came with an excuse to stall the bill, he alleged.
However, the Government is “committed to passing the law and empower our Muslim sisters”, Kumar said. (AGENCIES)
