Delhi: It’s a tell-all interview of Dr Najma Heptulla.
This week Dr. Najma Heptulla will be the guest in Zee Regional Channels’ special show ‘A Dialogue with JC’.
Dr. Heptulla fluently answered all the questions put by Zee Regional Channel’s CEO Jagdish Chandra.
Dr. Heptulla who started her public life as an MP of Upper House in 1980 answered directly to the question on her quitting Congress. According to her she was not getting that respect in Congress which she got in BJP.
On the issue of Triple talaq, she said PM Modi is speaking on behalf of Muslim women.
Dr. Heptulla said, she had congratulated Muslim men for giving their women the freedom to vote freely in UP elections. She said, she had struggled all her life for the rights of Muslim women. She echoed the voice of the centre government and said Triple Talaq should be scrapped immediately as it is only a medium of oppression. According to Dr. Heptulla, it is contradictory that we are living in the ages of Facebook and Whatsapp and we are favouring a 1400 years old ritual.
She said only the supreme court can decide on this issue and not the personal law board as it is only an NGO.
Dr. Heptulla side-lined this allegation that she had not invited the single largest party in Manipur. She said, she only had worked in favour of a stable government. She said her relationships were equally good with the present CM and his predecessor.
Speaking on Manipur, she said, backwardness and roads are the main issues there. She praised Minister of Transport Mr. Nitin Gadkari for the highway via north east and Myanmar to Thailand. She also stressed on the fact that world’s highest bridge is also being build in Manipur. She said, she is also working on agriculture and organic farming in the state. She appreciated that there were no economic blockade and no bomb blasts in the state now.
Speaking on the conditions prevailing in Kashmir Dr. Heptulla said the situation is not that bad as shown in media.
