New Delhi: The main opposition Congress party said on Thursday it would scrap a decree passed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government prescribing jail terms for Muslim men seeking an instant divorce if the party wins an election due by May.
“We oppose it because it is another weapon devised by Mr. Narendra Modi to imprison Muslim men or drag them to police stations,” Sushmita Dev, president of the women’s wing of Congress, said in a speech.
