At the center, the ruling BJP government has taken many historic decisions, including forbes and GST in it till date. Many of which had received severe criticism for the BJP government on many of the decisions, many received great commendation.
Among these initiatives of the government, there was a lot of discussion about those decisions which he did with Muslims. Let’s have a look at some of the same decisions. For the Muslims, the BJP Government has made four such big decisions which will be the headlines of the media and the issue of discussion all over the country, through the corridors of power.
After independence, the decision came to an end on Haj subsidy:
The Modi government has ended the subsidy on Haj pilgrimage as a major decision. This will be the first time after Independence when Haj pilgrims will not get government help in the form of subsidy for Haj pilgrimage. This time around two lakh people will travel to Haj without any government help.
Giving information about this decision, Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said that the amount of Rs 700 crore spent in the subsidy would be spent especially on the education of minority community girls. Significantly, the Supreme Court had ordered the abolition of Haj subsidy in 2012 by the Supreme Court till the year 2022. This decision of the government has been welcomed by the Muslims.
Historic Victory of Modi Government on Triple Talaq:
It is known that the issue of three divorces has been in the top spot in the year 2017. In August of the year 2017, the Supreme Court declared the three divorces as illegal and gave a historic judgment.
Uttarakhand’s Shayra Bano challenged the three divorce cases in the court. After husband’s dowry harassment was sent forcibly and then divorced, Shayra Bano knocked on the court.
Through his petition, he has given a constitutional challenge to Section 2 of the Muslim Personal Law Application Act, 1937. Shayra had appealed to eliminate polygamous marriage, three divorced and untimely prejudices in Muslim society.
A constitutional bench of five members of the Supreme Court kept their hearing limited to three divorces, without taking any decision on polygamy and marriage.
Organizations like Muslim women organizations, All India Shi’a Personal Law Board, All India Muslim Personal Law Board etc. have expressed happiness over the court’s decision. But some institutions like Darul Uloom Deoband, protesting against it, terming it as a nationalist agenda of BJP.
On the three divorces, the Modi government got a historic victory, after rejecting several amendments in the Lok Sabha, the Center’s ‘Muslim Women Protection of Rights on Marriage Bill’ was passed. However, in the Rajya Sabha so far this three divorce bill could not be passed due to which it has not been able to take the form of law.
In December, the central cabinet approved a bill to declare three divorce laws a crime. According to this bill, divorced from all the ways, including oral, written, WhatsApp, email and SMS, is considered a crime. For this, the provision of three years’ sentence and penalty has been made.
Muslim women are allowed to go Haj without a male Partner:
Under the new Haj policy, the first major decision is made which is to allow the woman to visit Hajj without Mehrham (male relative). Now women aged 45 years and above can go to Hajj without any male partner. Under the new Haj Policy of the Ministry of Minority, in which the group of four women over 45 years of age will be able to go with a non-male partner.
In the policy till now, women below 45 years of age could not go to Hajj without male partner, while the quota for male partner has been increased from 200 to 500. In many Islamic countries where there is no such restriction for women, then why are such restrictions for Indian women? Please indicate that the proposed Hajj policy has been prepared according to the order of the Supreme Court of 2012.
Yogi Sarkar too is not behind, took this big decision:
The decision to sing the national anthem in the Madarsas of the BJP government of UP also remained in the news headlines. This decision of Yogi Sarkar was politically firmly opposed. The Opposition strongly opposes this decision of the Yogi Sarkar.
There has been a lot of discussion on this decision by the UP government across the country. The decision of the Yogi government for the imperative of the national anthem was challenged in the Allahabad High Court, but the High Court rejected the petition. While rejecting the petition challenging the compulsion of national anthem in the madarsa, the High Court said that respecting the national anthem and the national flag is The constitutional duty of the citizens.
Not only that, the court said that the national anthem has spread national integrity, sect secularism and democratic sentiment. Similarly, national flag is not just a piece made of cloth and ink, it is a way to achieve the goal of independence. National anthem song and national flag Tri-color flag is compulsory in all educational institutions and other institutions.
