The proceedings of the second day of the special session of Parliament took place in the New Parliament House today. A bill providing for 33 percent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and Legislative Councils was placed on the table of the House. This bill was presented in the Lok Sabha by Law Minister Arjunram Meghwal. He said that women will get 33 percent reservation in Lok Sabha and Assembly. Now this bill will be discussed tomorrow. PM Modi has named the Women’s Reservation Bill as Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyaan. He said that this bill will strengthen democracy and women’s participation in the Lok Sabha will increase.
The bill brought by the government has been welcomed by BJP, Congress and Aam Aadmi Party. Whereas Rashtriya Janata Dal and Samajwadi Party have raised questions regarding the provisions of the bill. RJD leader Rabri Devi, former CM of Bihar and wife of Lalu Prasad Yadav, said, “Under women’s reservation, seats should be reserved for women from deprived, neglected, agricultural and laboring classes. Don’t forget, women also have castes. However, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that now rise above party politics. We will support the women’s reservation bill unconditionally.
