He said in his message that there has been a detailed and serious discussion on this bill in the Parliament, in which every question and apprehension has been answered.

Currently a discussion is going on in the Parliament on amendment to the Narishakti Vandan Act. The discussion continued till 1 o’clock last night also.
A reasoned answer has been given to remove the misconceptions that have been spread. Every doubt has been resolved. The information which was lacking has also been given to every member. In someone’s mind…

The Prime Minister wrote that for the last four decades, politics has been taking place on an important issue like women’s reservation, but now the time has come that half of the country’s population should get their rights. He said that even after so many years of independence, the limited representation of women in the decision-making process is worrying.

He urged all political parties and MPs to take decisions with sensitivity and wisdom and vote in support of women’s reservation. PM Modi also said that the eyes of crores of women of the country are fixed on this decision and no such step should be taken which will hurt their sentiments.

In another message, he made an emotional appeal asking the MPs to listen to their conscience while remembering the women in their families – mothers, sisters, daughters and wives. He called it a historic opportunity to empower the women power of the country.

I will tell all the MPs…
Remember your mother, sister, daughter and wife and listen to your conscience…
This is a big opportunity to serve and worship the women power of the country.
Don’t deprive them of new opportunities.
If this amendment is passed unanimously, the country’s women power and empowered.

The Prime Minister expressed hope that this amendment will be passed unanimously, which will not only provide new opportunities to women, but will also strengthen the country’s democracy. Now all eyes are on this important voting in the Lok Sabha, which can prove to be a big turning point in Indian politics.
