Triple Talaq bill passed in Lok Sabha

Lok Sabha passes Triple Talaq Bill: Ahead of the new year holidays, the BJP-led NDA pushed through its law to punish Muslim men who gave instant Triple Talaq. The NDA government rejected amendments of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi and RSP leader and Lok Sabha MP N K Premachandran in the Lok Sabha. Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury's amendment wasn't also taken up because his party staged a walkout as a mark of protest against the Bill.
