Women quota bill won’t discriminate, in favour of democracy: PM Modi in Lok Sabha
PM Modi urged all parties to “collectively” ensure the passage of the The Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-eighth Amendment) Bill, 2023.
PM Modi said that the women’s reservation bill would not “discriminate” against anyone and would not be “unfair.”
The special session of the Parliament’s Budget session began Thursday, and is due to run from April 16 to April 18.
Three key bills – The Constitution (One Hundred and Thirty-First Amendment) Bill, 2026, The Delimitation Bill, 2026, The Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026 – have been introduced. The decision on these will be taken on Friday (April 17) at 4 pm IST.
During his speech in Lok Sabha, the Prime Minister urged Opposition parties to support the Bill, while providing a “guarantee” that it would not lead to political benefit for a single group. He, however, said that if anyone raises objection to the bill, the women would not “forgive” them. Here are the key highlights from PM Modi’s speech on the floor of the house.
