Political 100 Seconds: President Kovind calls passage of Triple Talaq Bill a 'milestone'

The BJP on Tuesday hailed the passage of the triple talaq bill by Parliament as a step that will help correct a historic wrong done to Muslim women, even as the Congress questioned the relevance of criminalising the practice.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that an "archaic and medieval practice" has been confined to the dustbin of history and the country is rejoicing today.
"India rejoices today," he said in a tweet minutes after Rajya Sabha passed the bill.
