पूरे देश के लिए आज एक ऐतिहासिक दिन है। आज करोड़ों मुस्लिम माताओं-बहनों की जीत हुई है और उन्हें सम्मान से जीने का हक मिला है। सदियों से तीन तलाक की कुप्रथा से पीड़ित मुस्लिम महिलाओं को आज न्याय मिला है। इस ऐतिहासिक मौके पर मैं सभी सांसदों का आभार व्यक्त करता हूं।

तीन तलाक बिल का पास होना महिला सशक्तिकरण की दिशा में एक बहुत बड़ा कदम है। तुष्टिकरण के नाम पर देश की करोड़ों माताओं-बहनों को उनके अधिकार से वंचित रखने का पाप किया गया। मुझे इस बात का गर्व है कि मुस्लिम महिलाओं को उनका हक देने का गौरव हमारी सरकार को प्राप्त हुआ है।
