'Nusrat Jahan Hid Actual Marital Status': BJP MP Seeks Disqualification From Parliament

Nusrat Jahan has claimed that her marriage is not a legal one and called it a live-in relationship as the wedding in Turkey did not have recognition under Indian law.

BJP MP from Uttar Pradesh's Badaun Sanghamitra Maurya has written to the Lok Sabha speaker, demanding disqualification of Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Nusrat Jahan for allegedly giving a false affidavit over her marital status to the Parliament. "The TMC MP and film actor Nusrat Jahan gave a false affidavit hiding her actual marital status. I have sent a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla in this regard on June 19," Ms Maurya, who was on a day's visit to her constituency, told reporters. Popular Tollywood actor and TMC MP Nusrat Jahan had earlier this month claimed that her marriage to businessman Nikhil Jain was not a legal one and called it a live-in relationship as the wedding in Turkey did not have recognition under Indian law. Ms Jahan, who is reportedly dating actor and BJP's Assembly poll candidate in the recently concluded Bengal election Yash Dasgupta, said, in a statement, that since her wedding ceremony with Nikhil Jain was held in accordance with the Turkish Marriage Regulation, the marriage is not valid in India.
