In the wake of the Supreme Court's landmark verdict against triple talaq, which has been celebrated as a victory for Muslim women, some Muslim leaders have expressed concern. Among them is Asif Riaz, a noted Urdu columnist and author of "Imqanaat Ki Dunia" & "Muzaffar Nagar Camp Main".
Riaz has taken issue with what he sees as a lack of logic in certain Hindu practices, particularly the burning of shrouds. He argues that while the Supreme Court has moved to protect Muslim women from the harmful practice of triple talaq, it has not addressed similar issues within the Hindu community.
In a series of tweets, Riaz questioned the Hindu tradition of burning shrouds, asking whether it causes harm to the shroud itself. He also called on the Supreme Court to consider legislation to address this practice.
Riaz's criticism has sparked debate on social media, with some praising his efforts to highlight what they see as inconsistencies in religious practices, while others accuse him of targeting Hindu customs while ignoring issues within his own community.
