Triple talaq bill is likely to be taken up in Rajya Sabha today.
With an aim of getting the Triple Talaq bill passed in Rajya Sabha, the government is likely to make another attempt today even as the opposition is firm on its demand to refer the bill to a select committee of the House.
The government had listed the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2018 on previous Monday but the Rajya Sabha did not take it up amid opposition's reservations over the proposed legislation and its insistence on sending the bill to a select committee.
This had led to heated exchanges between the opposition and treasury benches and the House was adjourned for the day amid ruckus.
It could be a repeat of the scene today.
Though the government does not seem to have the numbers on its side -- and is not even sure of support of one of its allies, Janata Dal United (JD-U), on the issue -- it would most likely push for it as it has to replace the ordinance promulgated in September last year.
