Kochi: Terming Prime Minister Narendra Modi's stand on 'triple talaq' as "communal campaign" CPI-M leader Sitaram Yechury on Sunday questioned his alleged silence on impediments to widows' remarriage in other religions.
Yechury questioned Modi's stance on 'triple talaq' while addressing a national seminar on the occasion of 150th year of publication of Karl Marx's book "Das Kapital" in Kochi.
He urged Prime Minister Modi to hold discussions with the representatives of all religions for reforming all practices concerning women of all faiths.
The seminar had been jointly organised by EMS Study and Research Centre and Economics department of the Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT).
Modi had last month urged the Muslim community to ensure that the 'triple talaq' issue was not "politicised," and hoped that intellectuals from the community would come forward to fight the practice.
