New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that Parliament is on the verge of creating history as it prepares for a special three-day sitting beginning April 16, focusing on the women reservation bill 2029.
The women reservation bill 2029 refers to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, passed in 2023, which provides 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. The implementation of the law is linked to the delimitation process and the upcoming census.
Addressing a conference, PM Modi said that the women reservation bill 2029 was passed with broad consensus and that political parties had earlier agreed on its implementation timeline by 2029. He urged all parties to support the upcoming amendments for its smooth execution.
Government Moves to Fast-Track Women Reservation Bill 2029 Through Constitutional Amendments and Delimitation Plan Ahead of 2029 Elections
The government has now moved to fast-track the women reservation bill 2029 by introducing constitutional amendment bills during the special parliamentary session. These changes are aimed at setting up a delimitation commission and restructuring constituencies ahead of the 2029 Lok Sabha elections.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge raised concerns over the timing of the session and said the Opposition was not taken into confidence. The women reservation bill 2029 has therefore also become a subject of political debate between the ruling party and the Opposition.
