Rahul Gandhi and Kiren Rijiju Debate Women's Reservation Bill Implementation
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi emphasized the importance of women's freedom and expression for India's progress, stating that the country remains stunted without it. His remarks sparked a response from Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju, who welcomed Gandhi's message as a positive shift and urged Congress to support the Women's Reservation Bill unconditionally. Gandhi countered by questioning the government's linkage of the bill's implementation to delimitation, calling for the 2023 law to be enacted without conditions. The debate highlights ongoing disputes over women's political representation and legislative implementation.
