Parliament Special Session LIVE Updates: The Women’s Reservation Bill, which would grant women 33% of the seats in the Lok Sabha and state legislatures, was introduced by the government on Tuesday. Today’s Lok Sabha debate on the bill will start at 11 am, and it is likely to pass.
Prime Minister Modi’s Call for Unity
Prime Minister Narendra Modi called September 19 a “historic day” after the Women’s Reservation measure was tabled in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. He also asked the opposition parties to support the measure. In highlighting the achievements of women, PM Modi claimed that they had a significant influence on the formulation of public policy and that God had selected him to carry out the women’s reservation bill. A lack of political will and agreement has kept the Women’s Reservation Bill on hold for the past 27 years. But rather than a previously passed measure, this one will be brand new.
Lok Sabha’s Critical Seven-Hour Window to Scrutinize Women’s Reservation Bill
Beginning at 11 a.m. today, the Lok Sabha will have a seven-hour opportunity to examine the Women’s Reservation Bill. The bill calls for 33% female representation in the Lok Sabha and state legislatures. The bill will probably be approved by the House later today after the discussion. Arjun Ram Meghwal, the law minister, introduced the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam bill in the Lok Sabha. It won’t take effect until after a delimitation exercise is finished, so it’s unlikely to be in place for the 2024 Lok Sabha election.
