AIMPLB threatens to move to Supreme Court if Triple Talaq Bill is passed in Parliament
Calling the triple talaq ordinance “anti-Shariyat and anti-Muslim women”, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) said it will move the Supreme Court if the ordinance is passed in Rajya Sabha during the ongoing Winter session.
On September 19, the Union Cabinet had passed the ordinance to amend provisions of the Triple Talaq Bill. It was later signed by President Ram Nath Kovind.
“There is a time period for an ordinance to be passed, and if it doesn’t in that time period, it has lapsed. The court said that if the ordinance has lapsed, then nothing will happen. But in case, unfortunately, the bill is passed and accepted, we will challenge it in Supreme Court," said AIMPLB member Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas while briefing the media in Lucknow Sunday. READ MORE

In Rajya Sabha, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj will move to withdraw the Nalanda University (Amendment) Bill, 2013.
A report by the Standing Committee of the Parliament on the subject 'Sino-India Relations including Doklam, border situation and cooperation in international organizations' will be submitted in both the houses. Shashi Tharoor and Sharad Tripathi will present the report in the lower house while Kumar Ketkar and Sambhaji Chhatrapati will present it in the upper house today.
On Friday, both the houses of the Parliament were adjourned following an uproar over the Supreme Court's dismissal of petitions seeking a probe into the Rafale deal.
The BJP, led by Home Minister Rajnath Singh, called for Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s apology for ‘misleading the country’ on the fighter aircraft deal in the Parliament. Singh, quoting the SC verdict in the Lok Sabha, said, “Congress president tried to mislead public for political benefits and maligned India’s image globally, he should apologize to the house and to the people of the country. He thought ‘Hum to doobe hain sanam tum ko bhi le doobenge’.”
Opposition relentless over Rafale
The Opposition parties had expressed earlier that they will continue their protest against the government on four issues – farm woes, “assault’ on institutions like the CBI and RBI, jobs and price rise and Rafale.
