The President of India, Droupadi Murmu, has stated that the abrogation of Article 370 and the laws on triple talaq are among the most significant decisions made by the government. In a recent address to Parliament, President Murmu emphasized that these moves have brought about positive changes in the country.
The Significance of Abrogating Article 370
Article 370 was a provision in the Indian Constitution that granted special autonomous status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. However, this provision was abrogated by the government in 2019, leading to widespread protests and controversy.
The President stated that the abrogation of Article 370 was a crucial decision made by the government to bring about stability and unity in the region. She added that the move has helped to reduce tension and promote economic growth in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Impact of Triple Talaq Laws
Triple talaq, also known as instant divorce, is a practice where a husband can unilaterally divorce his wife without her consent. The government has amended the laws on triple talaq to make it easier for women to protect their rights.
The President stated that the amendment of these laws was a key decision made by the government to bring about justice and equality for women in India. She emphasized that this move will help to prevent exploitation and promote marital harmony.
