Indian gov’t presents bill to reserve a third of parliament seats for women

Al Jazeera  

Analysts say the chances of the bill getting passed in parliament have brightened as opposition to it has shrunk over the years. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has moved a bill to reserve one-third of seats in the lower house of parliament and state legislative assemblies for women. For many years there have been a lot of discussions about the Women’s Reservation Bill after it was first introduced in 1996,” Modi said in parliament on Tuesday before Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal presented the bill to legislators. When asked about the bill, opposition leader Sonia Gandhi of the Indian National Congress party called it “ours” – referring to her party’s long-standing demand for its passage. “I must say it be a victory for the Congress Party if the bill is finally passed,” she said, claiming her party gave the nation its first female prime minister, the first woman speaker of parliament and the woman president.
