Lucknow: Taking objection to BJP including the ‘triple talaq’ and Ram Temple issues in its election manifesto, Congress on Wednesday demanded that the Supreme Court and the Election Commission initiate action against the saffron party in this regard.
“BJP is raising disputed issues with the aim to polarise votes in the upcoming Assembly polls in the state,” AICC general secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad alleged while replying to a query on BJP raising ‘triple talaq’ issue during campaigning in Uttar Pradesh.
“BJP has included triple talaq and Ram temple in its manifesto and as both these issues are pending in the Supreme Court, Congress has objections over it…the party demands that Supreme Court and Election Commission take note of it and initiate action against BJP,” he said after releasing party’s election manifesto here.
