Kolkata, 01 Aug (ANI): West Bengal Minister and President of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind West Bengal Unit Siddiqullah Chowdhury opposed to recently passed Triple Talaq Bill in Rajya Sabha. "It is a matter of grief; it is an attack on Islam. We will not accept it. When there will be central committee meeting, we'll decide on further course of action," said Siddiqullah Chowdhury. The Indian parliament has approved a bill (Women Protection of Rights on Marriage 2019) to end the Muslim practice of instant triple talaq or divorce two years after the Supreme Court said it violated the constitutional rights of Muslim women.
