Trouble for Nusrat Jahan, Marital status questioned
Nusrat Jahan has been questioned by BJP for her Marital status.
Trinamool Congress MP and Bengali cinema actress Nusrat Jahan's membership of MP may be terminated. BJP MP Sanghamitra Maurya has accused Trinamool Congress leader Nusrat Jahan's marriage that she deliberately gave wrong information in Parliament. Along with this, Maurya said that "Nusrat Jahan intentionally gave wrong information to the Lok Sabha Secretariat. Sanghmitra Maurya, who represents Uttar Pradesh Badaun in the Lok Sabha, in her letter to Birla, attached Nusrat Jahan's profile where she has mentioned Nikhil Jain as her husband.
"An appropriate action be intimated under relevant rules of Lok Sabha procedure and/ or the matter be referred to Committee on Ethics for detailed investigation for her illegal and ethical conduct," Maurya said in the letter to the Speaker on June 19, as per sources. "Her media statement regarding her marital status controvert her oath for Lok Sabha membership wherein she took oath as Nusrat Jahan Ruhi Jain. This effectively renders her membership as non-est in law," Maurya added.
Nusrat Jahan issued a statement earlier in June saying her marriage with Nikhil Jain is not legal, valid and tenable and there is no question of divorce. "Since it was an inter-faith marriage, it requires validation under the Special Marriage Act in India, which did not happen. As per the court of law, it is not a marriage, but a relationship or a live-in relationship. Thus, the question of divorce does not arise," she said.
Nusrat Jahan got married to businessman Nikhil Jain in Bodrum of Turkey in 2019 after she made her political debut, winning the Lok Sabha elections in the same year.
