The Uttar Pradesh government has convened a special one-day legislative session on April 30 to discuss women's empowerment and support the women's reservation Bill following the Constitution Amendment Bill's defeat in the Lok Sabha. The session aims to pass a resolution backing 33% reservation for women and to challenge opposition parties, including Congress and Samajwadi Party, over their stance. Opposition leaders have welcomed the focus on women's empowerment but urge the government to send a formal proposal to the Centre.
