Women Reservation Bill

The Women's Reservation Bill also reserves approximately one-third of seats in the reserved categories for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes for women.

Ms. Kanimozhi started by questioning whether the BJP had indeed engaged stakeholders before introducing a measure that has been sitting in committee for 27 years.

The Congress party, on the preceding day, welcomed this reported development, as it has been a longstanding advocate of this legislation.

Let us tell you that the Women's Reservation Bill was pending for the last 27 years, which will now come on the table of Parliament.
