NCP Distances Itself From MLA Sana Malik Remarks On Polygamy

The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Saturday, June 27, 2026, distanced itself from remarks made by its MLA, Sana Malik, regarding polygamy and triple talaq in the Maharashtra Assembly in Mumbai. The party clarified that the legislator's comments represented her personal views and did not reflect the official stance of the NCP.

In response to the remarks, Maharashtra NCP president Sunil Tatkare issued a statement on social media to clarify the party's position. Tatkare asserted that the NCP remains committed to protecting women's rights, regardless of caste, religion, or faith. He also stated that the party fully respects the legal position on triple talaq.

The clarification from the party leadership aims to prevent political fallout from the MLA's controversial statements. By issuing the statement, the NCP sought to reaffirm its official position of supporting women's rights across all religions and respecting the legal position on triple talaq.

The incident occurred during proceedings at the Maharashtra Assembly in Mumbai, drawing immediate attention to the party's stance on these social and legal issues. The NCP's quick response via its state president, Sunil Tatkare, served to draw a clear line between the personal opinions of individual elected representatives like Sana Malik and the formal policies of the party.
