"There is no doubt that in Islamic practice and preaching women have been given second or third class status. Triple talaq, marrying four wives tradition are examples of that," Swamy told ANI.

He said that the "Islam religion permits men to commit atrocities against women." He added that the Muslim clerics may hide the fact but this is the reality of Muslim religion.

On Friday, Uttar Pradesh minister Swamy Prasad Maurya had said that "Muslim men resort to triple talaq to satisfy their 'lust' by changing wives". Maurya made this statement at BJP leader Jitendra Pal's residence in Basti for a personal event.

Maurya added that BJP is with Muslim women on the issue of triple talaq but claimed that Muslim law board has no provision on the issue.

He alleged that the Muslim men leave women to die on the streets with her children.
On the other hand, All India Muslim Women's Personal Law Board on Saturday had claimed that Maurya has humiliated Muslim woman and demanded his resignation.

"Where on the one hand, Muslim women are fighting for their injustice, Cabinet Ministers like Swamy Prasad Maurya are making such obnoxious statements. He should be given strict punishment and should be sacked from his post. I would appeal to Yogi ji to sent Maurya to a mental asylum," AIMWPLB president Shaista Amber told ANI, Shaista Amber added that the statement is very disturbing. She said that they (referring to Maurya) don't know Islam at all.

She warned that if Maurya won't apologise, the issue will be taken to the apex court if needed.
