  • AIDWA Statement on the Triple Talaq Bill
    31 Jul 2019

    The passing of the draconian Triple Talaq Bill which criminalises the mere pronouncement of triple talaq and makes it an offence punishable with upto three years of imprisonment is wrong and condemnable. As we had pointed out earlier the Bill converts a civil wrong, which all matters pertaining to Family Law are, into a criminal offence and is both ill conceived and legally flawed. It is communal in its intent as it specially seeks to target muslim men who desert their wives and punish them.

  • AIDWA Hails Its CEC Member Jharna Das Baidya For Standing Up To Amit Shah
    19 Jul 2019

    After coming to power again, the BJP has become more arrogant than ever and is shamelessly trying to purchase MPs, MLAs and various celebrities associated with other parties, using its massive corporate-donated money power and influence. But where ideology is strong, people resist. 

    Recently Jharna Das Baidya, CPI(M) Rajya Sabha MP from Tripura and AIDWA state secretary and CEC member has proved this and made public how Amit Shah told her that since the Left's days are over she should now join the BJP.

    In her budget speech the Finance Minister quoted Swami Vivekananda to state “There is no chance for the welfare of the world unless the condition of women is improved. It is not possible for a bird to fly on one wing”. She boasts that her government has provided adequate opportunities for women to develop and provide livelihood opportunities. However this statement of the Finance Minister, is hollow and full of half-truths if it is seen in the context of the current ground realities.
