Calling for an enlightened debate on the Code, the Minister said the real mood of the country is to end triple talaq and some people are trying to create confusion over the two issues. <br/><br/>Mr Naidu said, people do not want any discrimination agianst women on basis of any religious faith. The Minister added that the issue is about giving equal rights to women and assured that no decision would be taken in a hurry. <br/><br/>Government's reaction came a day after All India Muslim Personal Law Board and various other Muslim organisations announced that they will boycott Law Commission's process to take views on Uniform Civil Code.
