Crux of the Matter
BJP was voted back to power in 2019 with a historic mandate
In its first parliamentary session, the government has made a slew of legislations.
The current govt has tackled sensitive issues like Triple Talaq and Article 370, long considered untouchable issues because of communal sensitivity.
Recently a bill was passed to ban Triple Talaq, a move welcomed by its main beneficiaries, Muslim women.
