PTI, HYDERABAD: The All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) Thursday alleged the ordinance making instant triple talaq a punishable offence is a murder of democracy, and said it is exploring legal options to challenge the move.
It said the government did not bother to discuss the issue in Parliament and it’s an insult to the country’s supreme legislative body.
“This ordinance is a ‘chor darwaza’. It’s a murder of democracy and an insult to Parliament. The Parliament session is to start… but the government did not even bother to discuss… We feel it will be harmful to Muslim women,” AIMPLB Assistant General Secretary Maulana Khalid Saif Ullah Rehmani told reporters here.
He said it’s strange that no consultations were held with the community and “you (government ) decided on it yourself. Rather than rendering justice, injustice will be meted out through this ordinance”.
