Government Plans Special Parliament Session to Pass Delimitation and Women's Reservation Bill
The Indian government is reportedly planning a special Parliament session to pass a Constitution amendment bill linking delimitation with the implementation of 33% women's reservation in Parliament and state assemblies. The bill aims to increase Lok Sabha seats from 543 to up to 850, addressing concerns from southern states. While the government expresses confidence in securing the required two-thirds majority, the Opposition supports women's reservation but objects to linking it with delimitation and calls for wider consultations. The Monsoon Session remains unprorogued, fueling speculation about the timing of the special session.
