AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi said on Saturday that the triple talaq bill was draconian in nature and was aimed at snatching the fundamental rights of Muslims.

He was addressing reporters in the town. He was here to attend the marriage of the son of Usman Gani, the state president of  AIMIM.  

"As per the Supreme Court order, the marriage does not get annulled even if talaq is given. How can you arrest the husband if the marriage is not annulled?" Owaisi said.

Calling the bill a dangerous game plan, he said the Congress and the Trinamool Congress were supporting it, though they know it is a bad legislation. He demanded that a committee be formed so that the bill can be discussed before a decision is taken.
