Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, who is on an official visit to London, said that he will look into All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB)'s Shariat courtꦑ proposal.
"When I go back to India, I will examine the demand and the♌n react to it. We have taken a very firm position as far as Triple Talaq is concerned. It'📖s not a question of religion or community. It's a question of gender justice," the minister said in London.
The AIMPLB had proposed to set up Shariat courts in all dist♊ricts of the country, to resolve all issues within the Islamic law, instead of approa🐷ching other courts.
Earlier, Union Minister of State for Law and Justice, PP Chaudhary, argued that th𓆏e establishment of any court would have to be sanctioned by law.
"As far as opening of a court is concerned, it can only be 💜in accordance with the law. It (opening of any court) should be competent under the law. Otherwise, any verdict given by such courts is against the Constitution, and therefore, is not enfo🌠rceable," he said.
Dismissing the Shariat Court proposal, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy to♑ld ANI that it is a de-facto way of dividing the country and creating secession.
He further said that the people, who are trying to make such♛ an attempt, should be arrested under the National Security Act.
