The court asked that is triple talaq the basic element of Islam? On this, Arif Mohammad Khan said, "It is not far from basic or sacred. This is against the teachings of the Quran."

Arif Mohammad Khan, criticizing the All India Muslim Personal Law Board, said, "It has brought Islamic law to a ridiculous level."

The Supreme Court is hearing seven petitions related to triple talaq and Nikah Halala. Five of these petitions were filed by Muslim women.

Senior advocate Ram Jethmalani appeared on behalf of a female petitioner and an NGO called Forum for Awareness of National Security. Jethmalani said during the hearing, "This practice is contrary to the teachings of the Prophet" and it violates the Indian Constitution.

Jethmalani told the court that under the policy guidelines of the state, it is the responsibility of the government to implement the same civil code. Jethmalani said to the court, "At least start with the same law as the marriage of husband and wife."

In this case, former law minister and senior advocate Salman Khurshid, appointed Amicus Curie (justice friend), told the court, "Triple talaq can not be justified, nor can it be judicial validity."

Chief Justice Khehar wanted to know whether the triple talaq is prevalent in other countries outside of India and whether there is any non-Islamic country that has ended it. On this, the advocates told the court that many Islamic countries have abolished this practice and Sri Lanka like non-Islamic country has prohibited triple talaq.

Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi has benefited greatly from the promotional system of the RSS. This is to say, Mao Keji, a key intellectual of China,

According to Mao Keji, in 1992, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) got a bigger political advantage to demolition of the Babri Masjid. This article by Mao Keji, the scholar in China-India relations, has been published on 'Guanchao.com.'

According to Keji, the slogan of development in the backdrop of 'Gujarat model' by Narendra Modi strengthened the alliance between BJP and RSS, which gave him political gains.

According to Mao Keji, PM Modi is pushing for rapid development for economic advancement and giving less emphasis on reservation policy because RSS is against it.

According to Keji, PM Modi has got full support from RSS since 2013.

The Chinese writer saw in his article the seed of the BJP's rise in the incidents of other backward classes (OBCs) reservation implemented in 1989 and the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992.

Keji has written, "Because of the Mandal Report, middle class and upper class, who are expecting betterment in education and employment, feel atrocity with themselves. With this disappointment, there was a strong increase in BJP's mass base who opposed the reservation on priority basis and demanded similar competition.

Keji has written that since the demolition of the Babri Masjid, the religious polarization has helped the BJP and RSS to increase its mass base.

According to Keji, these two incidents increased the number of cadres of both organizations, which are still the backbone of BJP and RSS organizations.

Mao Keji has written that RSS has 10 thousand campaigners and 50 thousand active branches.

According to Keji, RSS has nearly six lakh volunteers and workers, farmers, women and student organizations.

Keji has written, "These groups give BJP an opportunity to spread organizational unity, social resources and ideology."
