DMK's Somu speaks

Kanimozhi Somu (DMK): We support women reservation, it is a matter of right not favour to women...

Somu: laments that the government waited 9.5 years to bring the Bill and was more focused in pushing through controversial Bills like the farm laws and abrogation of Article 370 through its tenure.

Somu: Sad that the country's women will have to wait at least till 2029 to benefit from this reservation. Somu appeals that the Bill is amended to enable immediate implementation, failing which she asks the minister to give a definite timeline for the Bill's implementation.
