Salman Khurshid conjures up a sob story to defend Triple Talaq, gets ridiculed

On Congress Foundation Day, one of the patron saints of liberal values, Salman Khurshid defended Triple Talaq giving one of the most feeble excuses ever, “who will take care of the family if the man who gives Triple Talaq is jailed for the same”?

This, of course, got twitterati riled up over the regressive, vote bank pleasing statement.

Some even thought it would be a good idea for Khurshid’s wife to give some basic lessons of decency to her husband.

One wonders whether the newly crowned Congress President Rahul Gandhi endorses these statements.
