PM Modi spoke in Lok Sabha on Women’s Reservation Bill – Those who oppose will have to pay the price for a long time

New Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday appealed to all political parties in the Lok Sabha to support the Constitution Amendment Bill related to the Women’s Reservation Act, saying that there is no need to give it a political color and those who oppose it will have to pay the price for it for a long time.

On the ‘Constitution (131st) Amendment Bill 2026’, ‘Delimitation Bill, 2026’ and ‘Union Territory Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026’ related to the Women’s Reservation Act, he also said that this issue should not be weighed on the scales of politics. The Prime Minister said, “There come some important moments in the life of the nation and the state of mind and leadership ability of the society at that time ‘captures’ that moment and makes it the treasure and heritage of a nation. Today is such a moment in parliamentary history.

Modi said, “…Whoever opposed the rights given to women, women did not forgive them, they faced bad conditions. This did not happen in the 2024 elections, because everyone had passed it together (in 2023). He said that those who smell politics in it should look at the earlier results. He said, “I think there is no need to give it a political colour.” Modi said, “…those who oppose will have to pay the price for this for a long time.”

PM Modi said that some big moments come in the life of the nation and the state of mind of the society at that time creates a strong heritage. I think these are similar moments in the history of Parliament. This was the need that arose when this idea came 25 to 30 years ago. When the need was felt, it was implemented and till today it has taken it to maturity. We have been the Mother of Democracy. Ours has been a development journey of thousand years.

Prime Minister Modi said that there is no need to give political color to women’s reservation, women did not forgive those who protested in the past. Earlier, discussion on important bills related to women’s reservation and delimitation began in the Lok Sabha on Thursday. Initiating the discussion, Union Minister of State for Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal said that the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026 will prove to be an important step towards ensuring gender equality in the country and will not harm any state.
