NEW DELHI: CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat on Thursday criticised the government for making an attempt to push the triple talaq bill through Parliament without holding any discussions or consultations with Muslim girls and ladies's organisations.
The bill making fast triple talaq unlawful, with up to three years in jail for the husband, was handed within the Lok Sabha on Thursday.
The bill will now be despatched to the Rajya Sabha for passage before it's forwarded to the president for signing it into legislation.
"The bill itself is very objectionable, and equally objectionable are the efforts of BJP to push it through parliament without any consultation or discussion with those in whose names the bill is been passed," said Karat.
Muslim girls and ladies's organisations have by no means been consulted in this factor, she added, labelling it "totally wrong".
The Left leader identified that the issue of divorce is a civil dispute.
"Instead of looking at civil remedies, the government is trying to look at criminal remedies," she said.
The bill itself has many problems which the government wishes to look at.
"There are problems with this bill which requires further discussions. One, divorce is not a crime in this country... So therefore if you want to bring it under criminal law, there are many implications of this which requires discussions," she explained.
