Do not politicise triple talaq: Modi

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday urged people from the Muslims community not to "politicise" the triple talaq issue and requested them to come forward and find a "solution".

"I urge the people of Muslim community to not politicise the issue of triple talaq," Modi said while speaking on the occasion of Basava Jayanti.

"I request them to come forward and find a solution," the Prime Minister said.
