BJP’s Bishnu Sethi defends statement that women who are given triple talaq by their husbands are forced into prostitution

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA and the party's Deputy Leader in Odisha Assembly, Bishnu Sethi on Thursday said that Congress was unnecessarily creating problems on his statement on the ordeals faced by women, who were given triple talaq. Sethi had earlier claimed that Muslim women, who are given triple talaq by their husbands, are forced into a prostitution-a statement he faced flak for. Speaking to ANI on his remark 'Women who are given triple talaq are forced into prostitution', Sethi said there was nothing wrong in what he said. “There is nothing wrong in what I said, even in Pakistan and Bangladesh, they don't have triple talaq. Victims are our daughters too. There are many reports which point towards this.”
