Government hurrying women’s quota law implementation for political mileage: Kharge to PM

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to call a special Parliament session on the Women's Reservation Act, arguing it appears politically motivated. Kharge demanded an all-party meeting to discuss delimitation issues linked to the law, stating that without details of the proposed changes, meaningful discussions are impossible. He expressed concern about the government's past record and urged for a transparent process involving all parties before implementing the amendments. The exchange of letters between Prime Minister Modi and Kharge comes ahead of Parliament's special session from April 16 to 18 where the government plans to implement the Women's Reservation Act and increase Lok Sabha seats.
