May ban triple talaq after polls: Ravi Shankar

Speaking at a press conference here on Saturday, he said the tradition denies respect for women and it needs to be banned. 

The central government is committed to end the ‘evil social practice,’ he said, adding that it will raise the issue in Supreme Court on three points. Prasad said this issue is not related to religion but involves respect and dignity of women. The government respects faith but worship and social evil cannot coexist, he added. 

“We are the only party which respects women. Neither do other parties offer a good place to women nor do they respect them,” Prasad said. The minister attacked Bahujan Samaj Party, saying it should rise  above caste politics and respect women.
