[edit] NPOV issues
Article currently has following sentences: The Congress government, lead by Rajiv Gandhi, panicked at the reaction of the Muslims. With elections around the corner, the Congress government did not want to lose the Muslim Vote Bank.
I propose something like "The Congress government, led by Rajiv Gandhi, passed an Act of Parliament which said (whatever). Critics strongly contend that this was done as an appeasement measure (etc)".
Words like "panic" are strong POV, and ""did not want to" is projection. I agree that this case evokes strong emotions, but please let's keep the Wikipedia article as neutral as possible. --12.210.203.64 22:53, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Go ahead. It's a looooot less POV than it used to be --Ankur 14:59, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- This article is wrong, it neglects the facts and the proviso given in the MWPRDA of 1986 which allows Muslim wives to be given maintenance until death or remarriage. See Ali v Sufaira 1988 (2) KLT 94. If we can keep this topic from being politicised it is paramount to look at the facts! Especially the contribution from the KLT! This is not POV I am submitting, it is the legal reality. 82.35.57.169 14:01, 5 January 2006 (UTC)BROWN
