PM Modi Appeals for Support on Women's Reservation Bill Ahead of Key Vote
PM Modi Seeks Opposition Support for Women's Reservation Bill
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called on the opposition to support the crucial voting on three bills in the Lok Sabha. He shared on social media that discussions are currently underway regarding amendments to the Nari Shakti Vandan Act. The debate continued until 1 AM last night, during which logical responses were provided to dispel any confusion. All concerns raised have been addressed, and members were given the necessary information that was previously lacking. Any topics of dissent have also been resolved.
A Call for Action on Women's Rights
Modi emphasized that the issue of women's reservation has been a topic of political debate for four decades in the country. It is now time for half of the nation's population to receive their rightful entitlements. After decades of independence, the minimal representation of women in decision-making processes is unacceptable. With the voting in the Lok Sabha imminent, he urged all political parties to consider their stance carefully.
A Plea for Sensitivity in Voting
He requested that members vote in favor of women's reservation with sensitivity and thoughtfulness. Modi expressed a heartfelt appeal on behalf of the nation's women, urging members not to take any actions that could hurt the sentiments of female empowerment. The eyes of millions of women in the country are on their decisions and intentions. He implored everyone to support the amendments to the Nari Shakti Vandan Act.
An Opportunity to Empower Women
Modi further stated that he encourages all MPs to reflect on the women in their lives—mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives—while listening to their conscience. This is a significant opportunity to honor and serve the nation's women. He urged that if this amendment passes unanimously, it would not only empower women but also strengthen the country's democracy. Let us come together to make history today by granting rights to half of India's population.
