 Parliament LIVE updates: Triple Talaq Bill introduced in Lok Sabha; Rajya Sabha adjourned till tomorrow
Parliament LIVE updates: The passing of the Triple Talaq Bill won’t be easy for the government as the Opposition will look to corner them over the Rafale issue.
The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2018 or the Triple Talaq Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha Monday. The proceedings of the lower house were adjourned for nearly 50 minutes during question hour amid sparring between treasury and opposition benches over the Rafale deal issue.

As soon as the House took up Question Hour, members from the AIADMK, TDP and Congress rushed to the Well raising slogans. While the AIADMK was raising issues related to the construction of a dam over River Cauvery, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) was demanding special status for Andhra Pradesh. Congress members raised the issue of government’s stand in the Supreme Court over the Rafale deal and accused it of misleading the top court. The BJP retaliated by raising slogans, forcing the Speaker to adjourn the Parliament.

Other significant bills which will be moved in the lower house today will be the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill, 2016, the New Delhi International Arbitration Centre Bill, 2018 and the Consumer’s Protection Bill, 2018.
