Congress seeks passage of Women's Reservation Bill in Parliament special session
India TodayThe Congress on Sunday reiterated its demand that the Women's Reservation Bill must be passed during the special session of Parliament which is set to start from September 18. "The Congress party has for the past nine years been demanding that the Women's Reservation Bill already passed by the Rajya Sabha should now get passed by the Lok Sabha as well," Ramesh said. In a resolution adopted at its first meeting after being reconstituted, the Congress Working Committee on Saturday demanded that the Women's Reservation Bill be passed during the special session. The demand by the Congress' highest decision-making body comes amid renewed calls for passage of the Women's Reservation Bill and speculation that it could be taken up during the five-day special session of Parliament.
