Parliament session live updates: Reacting to the failure of the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill in the Lok Sabha, Congress MP Pramod Tiwari launched a sharp attack on the BJP, questioning the timing and intent behind the move.
“I challenge the BJP not to lie-the Women’s Reservation Bill was already passed in 2023. Why did you issue the notification just the day before yesterday? Where were you sleeping for 3 years?… Women’s reservation should start from today, begin it right now-implement it in the upcoming assembly elections… Your attempt to bring the delimitation into the hands of the government through this has been completely defeated; India’s democracy has been saved,” ANI quoted him as saying.
