Master Stroke: Monsoon session ends without any conclusion on Rafale deal and Tripal Talaq Bill

On Friday, former Congress president Sonia Gandhi, opposition MPs launched a protest against the BJP-led NDA govt on Friday demanding answers from it over the alleged scam in Rafale deal with France.
However, the contentious Triple Talaq Bill which criminalises the practice of instant "talaq" could not be taken up for discussion and passage on the last day of Monsoon session today, owing to lack of consensus among political parties on the issue. The Congress-led Opposition has been demanding that the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill 2017 be sent to a Select Committee for further scrutiny.
