Hundreds of women dressed in black burka from the Muslim community gathered in Bhopal to extend their support to the Prime Minister. The posters and placards said, “Thank you, Modi Ji, for abolishing Triple Talaq by bringing a new legislation against it.”
Women in massive numbers gathered on one side of the road just to have a look at the visiting PM. In a video, people could be heard raising slogans hailing the Prime Minister as the Prime Minister’s convoy arrived. PM Modi waved to them, acknowledging their gesture of support. The national flag and the flag of the Bharatiya Janata Party decked up the streets of Bhopal.
By enforcing the Triple Talaq Law in August 2019, the NDA government had abolished the instant Triple Talaq (divorce) practice, which qualified the ‘instant divorce’ by Muslim men to their wives as a criminal offence.
To inaugurate the newly renovated Rani Kamlapati Railway Station, PM Modi visited Madhya Pradesh’s capital. On the birth anniversary of the tribal freedom fighter Birsa Munda, he also addressed the tribal community and announced that the centre will celebrate the day as, “Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas”.
Modi said, “Today the country’s first ISO certified as Rani Kamalapati Railway Station has been inaugurated. The country’s first PPP model based railway station has been dedicated to the nation. The facilities which were once available in the airport are now available in the railway station.”
During his visit, he also launched the Ration Aapke Gram scheme during the Mahasammelan.
