NEW DELHI: A passionate debate has emerged over the government’s stand to oppose the practice of triple talaq, with some leading women politicians seeking its abolition, even as Muslim bodies accused the ruling dispensation of waging a “war” on their personal law. Manipur governor Najma Heptulla refrained from giving her opinion on the Centre’s stand, but, on a personal level, said an “un-Islamic” interpretation was being given to the practice of triple talaq. Senior CPI(M) leader and former MP Subhashini Ali also opposed the practice of triple talaq and polygamy, seeking abolition.
