Women's Reservation Bill: The Women's Reservation Bill has successfully passed through both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. On Friday, jubilant celebrations took place at the BJP headquarters in Delhi following the bill's approval.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also made an appearance at the BJP office, where he received a warm welcome from leaders and activists of the party's Women's Wing, who showered him with flowers.
During this gathering, Prime Minister Modi addressed the women activists and took a dig at the opposition for their previous stance on the bill.
He remarked that while the bill had been introduced in Parliament earlier, it had been mired in delays and had only received superficial attention.
He suggested that the opposition had not made sincere efforts to pass the bill, implying that their intentions might not have been aligned with its passage.
He also commented on objections raised by some regarding the use of the term "Nari Shakti Vandana" (salute to women's power) in the bill, questioning why honouring the strength of the nation's women was contentious.
Prime Minister Modi celebrated the historic moment and expressed gratitude to the millions of citizens who had contributed to this achievement.
He acknowledged that the bill had received overwhelming support in both houses of Parliament, passing with a significant majority in the Lok Sabha and gaining unanimous approval in the Rajya Sabha.
In conclusion, Prime Minister Modi highlighted the significance of this moment in history and expressed confidence that it would be a topic of discussion and celebration for generations to come. He extended his respects to the country's mothers and sisters, along with other senior party leaders present at the event.
