Indian National Congress leader Sushmita Dev said, "When the Supreme Court's verdict has come Congress had a press meet. We welcomed the Supreme Court judgment. When the Supreme Court requested the Parliament to legislate on it, in a technical term, I'd say it was a minority judgment. The bill seeks to amend a critical law. We have seen historically that talaq is a unilateral act. Since 1939, women have been approaching court. However, the reality is, that this is a practice that is prevalent till today."

INC leader Sushmita Dev said in Lok Sabha: that everybody wants social reforms. It is not just an idea, it is a right.

 She fired questions at Union Law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad in which she said “I want to ask Ravi Shankar Prasad, will we see the women's reservation bill coming to the Parliament. It is not just the depiction of women, if you would have allowed more women in the parliament, legislation like this, full of lacunae, wouldn't have seen the light of the day in this House."

 In her next question she said “Will the govt create a corpus to provide maintenance to divorced women waiting for compensation” Sushmita Dev, INC shows worry on this Bill.
