A footwear was hurled by a person while All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) leader, Asaduddin Owaisi was addressing a rally at the Nagpada Junction on Tuesday. Owaisi's "Save Shariat" rally was to seek support of the community against what he called the targeting of Shariah and Muslim personal law. The gathering had Muslim intellectuals and clerics in which Owaisi was addressing on the recent developments on triple talaq. "Muslim Mahilaon ko insaaf dena to bahana hai, Shariat nishana hai (Giving justice to Muslim women is an excuse and targeting Shariah is the real aim). Owaisi challenged that prime minister Narendra Modi give seven percent reservation to Muslim women, bring in law to give them Rs 15,000 as compensation when divorced if he was really looking to help them and questioned the Bill to criminalize triple talaq when triple talaq was dissolved.
