Hindu Mahasabha's bizarre solution to Triple Talaq: Religious conversion

As thousands of victimised Muslim women fight against the draconian triple talaq, Hindu Mahasabha offered a bizarre solution. The general secretary of Hindu Mahasabha Dr Pooja Shakun Pandey asked all Muslim women who have been victims of triple talaq and 'nikah halala' to take to Hinduism to get justice. The statement was made by the Hindu Mahasabha office bearer after conduction a program for the 'empowerment' of Muslim women.

The Hindu Mahasabha members said that they took an oath to fight against triple talaq during the program. 'If our government and law cannot



ensure justice to you, we will ensure it. I would treat all such women as my daughters and ensure self-respect and dignity to them,' Dr Pooja Shakun Pandey said.

Speaking to the audience which also consisted of women who had been victims of triple talaq in the program, Dr Pandey said that she would personally ensure their 'kanyadan'. 'They will get a safe and secure life,' she added. As bizarre as the solution is, many Muslim women rights activists slammed the Hindu Mahasabha accusing it of milking the triple talaq issue to promote religious conversions.
