New Delhi: UP minister Mohsin Raza on Monday slammed an Aligarh Muslim University professor for allegedly seeking to divorce his wife through WhatsApp, saying action will be taken against those violating law.
The minister, speaking on the sidelines of an event here, also said that the discussion on the issue of Ram Temple is moving in a direction where most people are in favour of building the temple in Ayodhya soon.
"It has been proved that triple talaq is not part of Shariat. When the Supreme Court has quashed triple talaq how can someone act against the law. Appropriate action will be taken those violating law. I doubt, how has he become professor," Raza said here in response to query on his view over allegation that an AMU professor was allegedly seeking to divorce his wife through WhatsApp.
Raza made the remarks on the sidelines of a telecom ministry event here to launch second phase of BharatNet -- broadband project for rural area.
The wife of an Aligarh Muslim University professor has accused her husband of seeking to divorce her through WhatsApp. The AMU academic, however, has said that the case was sub-judice since October first week.
