AICC general secretary KC Venugopal has said that his party will not let the passage of the triple talaq Bill in its present form in the Rajya Sabha.

The Congress had also accused the NDA government of getting the triple talaq Bill passed in haste in the Lok Sabha keeping in mind the 2019 general elections. The party has said its provisions were against the Constitution as well as fundamental rights.

The Bill will be moved by Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad in Rajya Sabha on Monday. Piloting the Bill, Prasad had said there should be no politics on the it, stressing that the Bill was not against any particular community.
