NCP MP Tariq Anwar has said that the decision of the Supreme Court on the controversial triple talaq must be acceptable to all the stakeholders.

Speaking to journalists, Tariq Anwar said that the Centre which has come with its proposal to end triple talaq would be taken into consideration by the Supreme Court after which it will come with its verdict.

"The central government has given its proposal to ban triple talaq in India. Also, there are many Muslim countries which have already banned triple talaq. Many Muslim organizations and Muslim women are raising the demand of banning triple talaq.

There are also voices within the Muslim community which is saying that triple talaq is un-Islamic", said Tariq Anwar, NCP MP.

He, however, asserted that the issue of surgical strike which BJP was raising especially in poll bound UP would not benefit them.

"BJP is trying to take credit for the surgical strikes. We see that the PM is crediting the Defence Minister and on the other hand the defence Minister is crediting the PM for these strikes. It is all a drama to fool the people. Those who have sacrificed their lives have been pushed to the back. Such strikes have not taken for the first time but the BJP is indulging into propaganda as if such strikes have taken place for the first time in the country", said Tariq Anwar.
