SC-ST-OBC... Sonia Gandhi spoke on women's reservation bill in Parliament, put these questions before Modi government

Sonia Gandhi said in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday that the Congress Party supports the Women's Reservation Bill. This bill should be implemented immediately. Let us tell you that this bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. This bill will become law after being passed by the Parliament. After this, 33 percent women will get reservation.

Sonia Gandhi presented her views regarding the Women's Reservation Bill in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday. During this, he said that the Congress Party supports the Nari Shakti Vandan Act 2023. This bill should be implemented immediately. He said how much longer will the women have to wait. The journey of an Indian woman is very long. Women worked for the welfare of everyone. It is important to recognize the sacrifice of women.

Along with this, he also talked about conducting caste census. CCP Chairperson said that this is a very touching moment of my life. This bill was brought by my spouse Rajiv Gandhi. At that time, this bill of Rajiv Gandhi had failed in Rajya Sabha by 7 votes. Rajiv Gandhi's dream will be fulfilled with this bill. Now their dream is half fulfilled, hence this bill should be implemented as soon as possible.

…how much longer will we have to wait?

He said that women have been waiting for their responsibilities for the last 13 years. How much longer will women have to wait for this bill… two, four, six and how many more years? Let us tell you that this bill was passed by the Rajya Sabha in 2010 but was overturned in the Rajya Sabha. Sonia said that women have brought the dreams of Gandhi, Ambedkar and Maulana Azad on the ground. Delaying this bill is a grave injustice to women.

Sonia made this demand from Modi government

There is an appeal to the government to implement the bill by removing all the obstacles. Sonia further said that Congress demands that this bill should be implemented immediately but arrangements should also be made for caste census, reservation of SC, ST, OBC women. Let us tell you that this bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha for the first time in the year 1996.

It was also introduced in Vajpayee government and Manmohan government but it was never passed. Sometimes this bill got stuck in Lok Sabha and sometimes in Rajya Sabha. On Tuesday (19 September 2023), the Modi government presented this bill in the Lok Sabha. Since then there is discussion regarding this bill.
