With the government all set to bring a fresh bill in Parliament to ban the practice of instant triple talaq, the Congress on Thursday said there are still some issues which it will debate and oppose.
The bill will be introduced in the Budget session which begins on Monday to replace an ordinance issued in February by the previous BJP-led NDA government. With the dissolution of the 16th Lok Sabha last month, the previous bill had lapsed as it was pending in Rajya Sabha.
Asked about the bill, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said: "We had raised a number of issues. Many of the contentious issues the government had agreed upon.... So we had success after a long time."
