Uttar Pradesh Assembly Debates Women's Empowerment Motion Amid Jurisdiction Dispute

During a special session of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, Leader of Opposition Mata Prasad Pandey objected to a motion discussing the 'Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam,' arguing that matters outside the state government's jurisdiction, such as the women's reservation bill, should not be debated. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Khanna countered that the motion focuses on women's empowerment within Uttar Pradesh, not reservation, which is a central government matter. Assembly Speaker Satish Mahana affirmed the motion's admissibility under Assembly rules.
