Under the proposed ordinance, giving instant triple talaq will be illegal and void and will attract a jail term of three years for the husband.

On Sunday, Maurya said he was hopeful that if the need arose and there was no way out, in Parliament, the Centre could opt for the legislative route for the construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya, when it has adequate numbers in both Houses.

Owaisi referred to the incident during a public meet and urged youth from the community to not fear such acts.

The JD(U) had alleged that the AICC president failed to back Kumar when the latter took a stand against corruption cases involving RJD leaders last year.

Owaisi even challenged the Congress to contest from Hyderabad and said even if both parties (BJP, Congress) join hands, they won't be able to defeat AIMIM.

Owaisi said he would meet Governor of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana E S L Narasimhan and place before him the facts of the case.

According to Owaisi, his party feels that both the national parties, the BJP and Congress, have failed to live up to the expectations and hope of the people of Karnataka

Asaduddin Owaisi raked up another controversy on Tuesday by giving a communal angle to the sacrifice of security personnel in the terror attack on Jammu’s Sunjuwan Army Camp.

"Bring a law that if any Muslim is called Pakistani, the person will face three year jail term," he said.

"This is nothing but 'pakoda' politics practiced by BJP. Prime Minister and his party have meekly surrendered before these people who are protesting. He has 56 inch chest only for Muslims," Owaisi said.

The triple talaq bill is a conspiracy against Muslims and a move to punish men from the community, AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi has alleged.

Owaisi claimed that the numerous temple visits undertaken by leaders of both the parties were part of their “deliberate political marginalisation of Muslims”.

Owaisi also demanded that India stop buying weapons from Israel and sever diplomatic ties with the country.

Owaisi justified the stand taken by Sunni Wakf Board's lawyer Kapil Sibal in Supreme Court that the hearing of the title suit be deferred till the elections.

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi today criticised RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for his comment that only a Ram temple would be built at the disputed site in Ayodhya.

Reacting to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's comments that "only Ram Mandir and nothing else" will be built at the disputed site in Ayodhya, Owaisi said that RSS is playing with fire on this issue.

Owaisi's statement is objectionable because if SC gives its verdict in favour of Hindus, he will say the court decided on the basis of faith, and if the court decides to the contrary, he will say the court followed the Constitution.

The AIMIM chief also choose to invoke Imam Hussain on the occasion to remind Muslims that he never compromised with the Islamic principles with ‘cruel’ people.

Owaisi said that time has come for Muslims to learn from Gujjars, Jats and Patels and do something to get reservation.

According to the UN, 391,000 Rohingya refugees have arrived in Bangladesh since violence broke out in western Myanmar's Rakhine state on August 25.
