Hardly 10 days after his wedding, an NRI man from Kerala has sent his 21-year-old wife a tripple Talaq message from Dubai on WhatsApp. The shocked woman, a BDS student and hailing from Chertala in Alappuzha district, has now approached the Kerala Women’s Commission for help.

The young woman in her complaint said her husband had not even informed her if he had reached Ber Dubai, where he is working, safely. After her repeated messages to him went unanswered, she finally got a reply shocking her to the core.

“Why are you calling me? I do not like you. Do not wait for me. If we like apple, will we keep eating it every day?. We will like to eat other fruits also. Talak Talak Talak”, the woman, who was at her wit’s end seeing the message, told the Commission, its member J Prameela Devi said.

She wants her husband to be tracked and Non-Residents Affairs department has been asked to trace him, Prameela Devi said. Prameela Devi said she spoke to Panakkad Sadik Ali Thangal, an Islamic scholar, who was of the opinion that this type of talaq was against rules.

As politicians continue to blow up the Dadri lynching incident, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has blamed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for trying to import the beef controversy into the state ahead of Assembly elections, scheduled to commence from October 12.

The Janata Dal (United) leader hit out at the BJP for trying to import the beef lynching issue into Bihar, saying the party ruling at the Centre has no agenda.

Kumar, who is heading the grand alliance of the JD(U), Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress, accused the BJP of trying to polarise voters on communal lines, further adding that the alleged beef controversy in Uttar Pradesh’s Dadri is a non-issue in Bihar.

The JD(U) leader also challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his arch rival, for a debate on the issues related to Bihar.

While challenging the BJP’s star campaigner for an open debate, the Bihar CM accused PM Modi of relying only on one agenda – to divide the society.

Kumar, who is running for a third term as Bihar CM, dismissed the reports that there are some problems between RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.

Apparently referring to the Dadri lynching episode, President Pranab Mukherjee, Wednesday, asserted that the core values of India’s civilisation cannot be given the slip.

“We cannot allow core values of India’s civilisation to be given a slip,” President Mukherjee said.

The President’s comments came at a time when leaders from across the spectrum are deriving political mileage from the Dadri incident.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Home Affairs has appraised the Prime Minister’s Office of the situation in the western Uttar Pradesh village.

Earlier, the Uttar Pardesh government had submitted a report to MHA on the probe into the Dadri incident.
