Congress Calls for All-Party Meeting on Implementation of Women's Reservation Act

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has urged Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju to convene an all-party meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to discuss the implementation of the Women's Reservation Act passed unanimously in September 2023. The government seeks to expedite the Act's rollout before the completion of the census and delimitation processes, which the opposition views as necessary steps. Congress emphasizes the need for broad consensus and parliamentary tradition in finalizing the roadmap for the Act's operationalization.
