BJP lauded the Supreme Court’s judgement that a divorced Muslim woman is entitled to seek maintenance from her husband. Replying to a media query in New Delhi on Wednesday, party spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi termed the verdict as a big relief for Muslim women saying it is a decision to give equal respect to women irrespective of their religion. Referring to the 1985 Shah Bano case, he alleged that whenever Congress came to power, the party attacked the Constitution in various ways. He said the then Congress government had undermined the Constitution by overturning the Supreme Court’s judgement in Shah Bano case in which the court had upheld the right to alimony of Muslim women. He added that today’s Apex Court decision has eliminated what he called the danger that existed 39 years ago.
