BJD Supports Triple Talaq Bill But Targets BJP For Double Standard in Sabarimala

New Delhi: In a major relief to BJP for sailing through the Triple Talaq Bill in Rajya Sabha, the ruling Biju Janta Dal in Odisha has supported the Bill today.

Supporting the Bill, Prasanna Acharya, leader of BJD parliamentary party in Rajya Sabha  said that his party supports the Triple Talaq Bill but “I believe that we indulge in double speak.”

Acharya, however, pulled up BJP for its  double standard in Sabarimala issue.

Hinting at BJP, Acharya said, “When we speak about women empowerment power why do some of us oppose the Supreme Court when women are granted entry in Haji Ali or Sabarimala.”
