Monsoon session of Parliament from July 20, will Women’s Reservation and Delimitation Bill be introduced again?


A very big news is coming out in terms of the country’s politics and legislative work. The upcoming monsoon session of Parliament is going to start from July 20. During this session, many important policy decisions and pending bills of the country are expected to be discussed. The most heated discussion in the political circles is whether the government can again present the Women Reservation Bill and Delimitation Bill on the table of the House this time. To conduct the session peacefully and smoothly, the government has also invited an important all-party meeting on July 19. With all eyes fixed on the legislative agenda and the opposition’s strategy, there are full chances that this monsoon session of Parliament will be a stormy one. While the opposition parties are preparing to corner the government on inflation, unemployment and recent geopolitical developments, the ruling party will enter the fray with the intention of passing many important bills. This time, the most curiosity is about women’s reservation and the delimitation bill for re-determination of Lok Sabha and assembly seats. If the government takes forward these two bills, we may see an epoch-making change in the political structure of the country and the equations of the upcoming elections. A consensus formula will be formed in the all-party meeting on July 19. The all-party meeting to be held on July 19, just a day before the beginning of the session, is being considered very important. This meeting will be chaired by the Parliamentary Affairs Minister, in which floor leaders of all major political parties including the Prime Minister will attend. The main objective of the meeting is to conduct the proceedings of the House without any deadlock and to reach a consensus with the opposition on important bills. The government will try to have meaningful debate on issues related to public interest, while the opposition may also remain adamant on the demand of raising its issues on priority. What will be the impact of this session on the democratic system of the country? The decisions taken in the monsoon session can have a deep impact on the democratic and geographical layout of the country. Women’s Reservation Bill has long been considered a major means of giving proper representation in politics to half the country’s population. At the same time, due to the process of delimitation, there will be changes in the boundaries of parliamentary constituencies and the number of seats in different states of the country. This is the reason why the eyes of all the regional parties from North to South India are fixed on every movement of this session.
