Uttar Pradesh (UP) cabinet minister Swami Prasad Maurya has added fuel to the triple talaq fire by saying that the practice is being misused by men to satisfy their lust.

BJP has made its anti-triple talaq stance a plank, with many experts citing tremendous support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi within the Muslim community during the UP elections, because he had said it has to be abolished to give justice to Muslim women. The PM has come out to say that triple talaq should not be politicized. We can go ahead and state that it should also not take on a communal hue.
