Days ahead of the monsoon session of Parliament when the government is likely to push for the passage of a bill against instant triple talaq, Prime Minister Narendra Modi mocked Congress for being a party, which stood only with Muslim men.

"The real face of these parties was revealed by their approach on triple talaq," he said at a public meeting here, part of his two-day visit to eastern Uttar Pradesh. "On one side the Centre is making efforts to ease and improve the lives of women and on the other these parties are working to put the lives of women, especially Muslim women, in danger," he said criticising the opposition.
