Why any further delay? Congress cornered the government on women’s reservation, demanded PM Modi to call an all-party meeting:

News India Live, Digital Desk: passed by the central government ‘Women Power Salutation Act’ Politics has once again heated up in the country regarding this. The main opposition party Congress has taken a tough stand regarding the delay in the implementation of this law. Congress has demanded from Prime Minister Narendra Modi that an immediate meeting be held to discuss the roadmap for implementing women’s reservation as soon as possible. All-Party Meeting Be called.

3 big reasons behind Congress’s demand

Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh and other senior party leaders have given solid arguments behind this demand:

Why wait for 2029?: The government had earlier said that women’s reservation would be implemented only after census and delimitation. Congress argues that postponing it till the 2029 Lok Sabha elections is injustice to crores of women.

Screw of OBC quota: Congress is continuously demanding that within women’s reservation OBC women A separate quota should be ensured for this. The party wants a consensus on this in the all-party meeting.

Census clarity: Census is pending in the country for a long time. Congress says that until the timeline of census and delimitation is not clear, reservation will remain just a piece of paper.

“It’s not about credit, it’s about rights.”

Congress says that they had supported this bill in Parliament, but now the government is delaying in clarifying its rules. Rahul Gandhi has also said in many forums that this bill is incomplete without ‘caste census’ and ‘OBC reservation’. By demanding an all-party meeting, Congress wants to put pressure on the government to take strict steps to implement this historic law.

What is the stance of the government?

According to sources, the government is sticking to its old plan that seats will be determined only after the census process is completed. However, in view of the increasing pressure from the opposition and the upcoming assembly elections, the government may clarify its strategy on this issue.
