Parliament Winter Session LIVE Updates: Triple Talaq Bill Debate Disrupted In Rajya Sabha
Parliament Winter Session: Triple Talaq bill will be moved in the Rajya Sabha today.
NEW DELHI: The Triple talaq bill that was cleared by the Lok Sabha last week will be tabled in the Rajya Sabha today. The landmark bill that makes instant "triple talaq" a criminal offence was forwarded to the Rajya Sabha and has been allotted four hours for debate. Several parties including the Congress, the Left and the two big parties from Tamil Nadu, AIADMK and the DMK, have been in favour of sending the bill to a panel of parliamentarians for review . The government hopes to build consensus in the Upper House where it lacks majority.
Here are the live updates of the winter session of parliament:

Anand Sharma:
Congress stands for rights and dignity of women. It is unfair to say that they are only ones are responsible and that we are not responsible.
Why haven't you brought up the women reservation bill in the past three and a half years if you care about women's rights?
We are not opposing, we are supporting. But any law has to go through scrutiny
The leader of the house is a an eminent jurist. What he has spoken of is a minority judgement

Arun Jaitley:
"I have never come across a motion that was not submitted 24 hours in advance which says it will be referred to a select committee and the names of the committee orally given. This has never happened in the house," says Mr Jaitley.
The whole country is watching that the bill was supported in the lower house and is being opposed here, he added.
He also gives reasons why the bill should not be referred to a select committee.
The reason why it should not be referred to a select committee is that when the practice was declared as unconstitutional, two judges who thought the practice was 'unfair' and not 'unconstitutional' used their power to suspend it for a period of six months, he said.
Therefore there is an urgency that the people expect from the parliament over this bill, we should behave responsibly. One party which supported the bill in the other house is now opposing it.
Don't compromise with the people who talk about dividing the country
