Minister Yogi Adityanath targets politicians silent on 'triple talaq'

LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said today the politicians maintaining silence on the issue of 'triple talaq' were equally responsible as those practising it as he linked the Muslim practice of divorce to the disrobing of Draupadi in the Mahabharata.

"These days there is a new debate in the country. Some people are maintaining a silence on this issue. This reminds me of the scene in the Mahabharata in which Draupadi is being disrobed in an assembly and she asks a question to the gathering as to who is responsible for this?" he said.
