Law against triple talaq saved families of Muslim women from breaking up in UP: PM Modi

UP, 14/2:  Addressing a rally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the law against triple talaq has saved families of thousands of Muslim women from breaking up in Uttar Pradesh.

 

 

Addressing an election rally here at Kanpur Dehat, the prime minister said the tightening of law and order in the state has also benefitted Muslim girls who used to face problems from miscreants while going to school earlier.

 

PM Modi’s remarks at the rally here come amid a row in Karnataka where schools have stopped Muslim girls from attending classes while wearing hijab.

 

The second phase of polling on 55 seats in UP was held on Monday. Several seats in the second phase, including Rampur from where SP leader Azam Khan is contesting, have large Muslim population.
