"There is no mention of triple talaq and halala in Quran Sharif. It is not sanctioned by the Muslim holy book. It is the worst persecution of humanity and women," Indresh Kumar said.
Kumar, who is a patron of RSS affiliate-Muslim Rashtriya Manch, said according to the Islamic philosophy, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) "is not a legal institution and does not represent Muslims in the country."
Stressing that the board was set up for Muslim vote bank politics, Kumar claimed the Congress came up with the idea of AIMPLB after the minorities drifted away to regional parties.
"So to retain their vote bank, the party encouraged Muslim leaders who were fundamentalists to set up a board and also gave them money," he alleged.
Noting that the 'Quran Sharif' does not sanction triple talaq and halala, Kumar said, "Some people are emotionally blackmailing others on the basis of Sharia (Islamic law). There is no Sharia outside the Quran Sharif."
He also hit out at China for "standardising" official names of six places in Arunachal Pradesh.
