Women's Reservation Bill: Congress to take part in debate

Congress was never serious about women's reservation: BJP

The Congress was never serious about providing reservation to women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, the BJP alleged.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the introduction of the bill in the Lok Sabha shows the "unwavering commitment" of the Narendra Modi government to empower women.

"Sadly, the opposition is unable to digest this. And, what is more shameful is that except tokenism, the Congress has never been serious about women's reservation," he posted on X.

"Either they let legislations lapse or their friendly parties prevented the (women's reservation) bill from being tabled. Their double standards will never be hidden, whatever stunts they try to take credit," Shah said.
