New Delhi: Discussion continued till late night in the Parliament on three important bills related to women's reservation, constitutional amendment and delimitation. Lok Sabha proceedings had to be extended several times and MPs remained present in the House till after midnight. Active participation of women MPs was also discussed, which was appreciated by Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. Meanwhile, notification for implementation of the Women's Reservation Act was also issued, which further increased the importance of the entire incident.
There was a continuous heated debate between the government and the opposition regarding the three bills. The ruling party is calling it a big step towards giving political participation to women, while the opposition is raising questions on some of its provisions.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi clearly said on this issue that it should not be seen from the political perspective. He appealed to all parties to pass this law together. He also indicated that those who oppose it may have to suffer political losses.
During and after the debate, the prime minister described 'women power' as the strength of the country. He said that women are bringing glory to the country in every field and their contribution has become the identity of the country.
In response to the questions being raised on delimitation, the Prime Minister assured that there will be no discrimination against any state. He said that the distribution of seats will be done on the basis of balance as before.
After discussion on these bills, voting is now to be held in the Lok Sabha. This is being considered important for the government because it will decide the future strategy and political environment.
The opposition says that it is not right to link women's reservation with delimitation. He argues that it can be implemented on the basis of existing seats also. Some parties have also raised questions about the intentions of the government.
The law has been implemented, but further process remains to implement it completely on the ground. Now everyone's eyes are on voting and the results emerging from it.
This ongoing debate in the Parliament is no longer limited to just the law, but it also seems to be deciding the direction of the upcoming changes in the country's politics.
