India Political Highlights: BJP trying to snatch 'shariat' from us, says Owaisi on repealing of Muslim Marriages ActThe repealing of the Muslim Marriages Act has drawn sharp reactions from AIMIM chief Owaisi who has said that the BJP is trying to snatch 'shariat' from Muslims. The Aam Aadmi Party has called a meeting of its political affairs panel tomorrow to discuss candidates for the Lok Sabha elections. The exodus from other parties to BJP continues. Congress seems to have faced the worst brunt of defections even as it tries to shore up its alliances with AAP, TMC, and SP. In Sandeshkhali, TMC has assured that Shahjahan Sheikh will be arrested within a week amid the Calcutta HC clarifying that there is no stay on his arrest. That's all for today, we will be back tomorrow with more political updates from across the country. Thank you and goodnight!
