TRS may abstain during voting on triple talaq Bill

Hyderabad: The Telangana Rashtra Samiti may abstain during voting on the triple Bill in the Lok Sabha, a senior party leader said on Wednesday.

The TRS, led by Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, had adopted the same strategy in December last year.

"Last year, we participated (in the debate) and skipped (voting), this time also we may do the same," the leader said, on condition of anonymity.

"I think, opposing it (the Bill) will create some problems, supporting it will also create some problems," he said.

The Central government introduced the fresh triple talaq Bill in the Lok Sabha last on Friday.
