Controversial Triple Talaq Bill Faces Rajya Sabha Test
  • 5 years ago
Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad Tabled The Triple Talaq Bill In Rajya Sabha Today. The Govt Managed To Pass The Bill In The Lower House Where It Has The Numbers. As Far As The Upper House Is Concerned, It Appears To Be A Hurdle For The Bjp Led Govt Again As The Oppn Outnumbers The Supporters Of The Bill. The Bjp Managed To Cobble Up Support For The Rti Amendment Bill With Parties Like Trs, Ysrcp And Others Backing The Govt. Will It Be Able To Repeat The Success Over The Triple Talaq Bill, That Is The Question. The Strength Of The Upper House Is 238 And The Half Way Mark Is 120. The Naveen Patnaik Led Bjd Has Decided To Support The Govt While Aiadmk, Jdu Ysrcp And Trs Are Likely To Stay Away From Voting. Staying Away From Voting Unlike Abstention Reduces The Strength Of The House And As A Result Lowers The Halway Mark.
