Speaking to ANI, Vishal Bharat Sansthan Director, Dr Rajiv Shrivastav said, "These Muslim women have been sending rakhis to Prime Minister Modi since he was Gujarat's Chief Minister, with a request to help them from the (then) existing divorce law for Muslims."
"And Prime Minister Modi did help them and introduced Triple talaq bill," Shrivastav said explaining that why these Muslim women sent Rakhis to him.
The women consider Modi as father and brother since he played the role of their "protector", he added.
