LIVE News: Shah Bano, Triple Talaq & UCC: Secular Law Reigns 'Supreme', Why Politics Over Equality?

In this episode of Newshour with Navika Kumar, we will discuss the landmark verdict of the Supreme Court of India on alimony for women. On Wednesday, the Supreme Court ruled that the "religion-neutral" clause applies to all married women, regardless of their religion, and that a Muslim woman may request maintenance from her husband under Section 125 of the CrPC. Soon after the verdict, a debate broke out among political parties, with Congress and BJP targeting each other and reminding who had done injustice to women. Who 'betrayed' women for votes? A panel joins us to discuss this in detail. 'Rajiv Gandhi did not do any wrong by bringing in the famously known as Shah Bano Act in 1986 because the same SC in the Danial Latifi Case upheld the constitutional validity of the 1986 act...' Kamru Choudhury opines. 'The Act of 1986 diluted the rights of Muslim women, and the intent itself of bringing that law was anti-Constitutional...' BJP's Gaurav Bhatia shares. Watch!
