She questioned why Indian women had waited for their political rights for 13 years and were now asked to wait even longer. The bill’s proposed changes are set to take effect in 2029, following the completion of a census and delimitation exercise.
Nishikant Dubey’s Accusation and Reminder
In a heated response, Nishikant Dubey accused Sonia Gandhi of playing politics and raised an incident from 2012. He alleged that during a debate on another reservation bill, Sonia Gandhi had attempted to physically harm an MP who opposed the bill. Dubey claimed that she had tried to “kill” the MP in Parliament:

Dubey also criticized Sonia Gandhi for not acknowledging the efforts of women like Sushma Swaraj and Geeta Mukherjee, who had worked towards women’s reservation. Instead, he contended that she took credit for their contributions.

The Long-Awaited Women’s Reservation Bill
The Women’s Reservation Bill has been a topic of discussion in Indian politics for over a decade. It was introduced in 2010 by the United Progressive Alliance (UPA), led by the Congress. However, it did not progress in the Lok Sabha at that time.
If passed this time, the bill would represent a significant step toward achieving gender equality in political representation. Nevertheless, its implementation remains uncertain as it awaits necessary procedures, including the census and delimitation exercise.
This clash in the Lok Sabha underscores the passionate debates and challenges surrounding this crucial legislation. Stay connected with Digi Hind News for more latest gossip bites and news related to politics, celebrities and more.
