Due to lack of complete numbers, this bill fell in the Lok Sabha itself. Along with this bill, the government also withdrew two other bills which it had brought in the Lok Sabha. Also, Lok Sabha has been adjourned for 11 am on Saturday.
Home Minister Amit Shah accused Congress of keeping the delimitation pending and said that for 50 years the people have not got their representative in proportion to the population. He said that they are opposing the women’s reservation bill. They will have to face the anger of their mothers and sisters in the elections and will not find a way.
During the discussion on this bill, there was a fierce dispute between the parties and the opposition on Friday. There was a huge uproar. The parties in the ruling coalition had their own arguments on the amendments related to the Women’s Reservation Bill. At the same time, the opposition questioned the credibility of the government. Akhilesh Yadav even said that even if BJP gives it in writing that the next Prime Minister will be made to a woman, we will not trust it.
