In recent developments regarding the Women’s Reservation Bill, the Indian government is considering increasing the percentage of seats reserved for women in Parliament. Currently, about 33% of seats are allocated for women under the existing bill, but there are discussions about adding up to 180 more seats for women.
This significant decision follows the approval of the Women’s Reservation Bill by the Modi Cabinet just a day ago. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to engage with women Members of Parliament (MPs) in the new Parliament to emphasize the importance of greater female representation.
This development is being hailed as a positive and progressive step, showcasing the government’s commitment to enhancing female participation in policymaking and governance. It signifies a move towards achieving a more equitable gender balance in Indian politics.
This move ensures that all members of Parliament can understand and participate in important proceedings, regardless of their language preference, promoting inclusivity and effective communication within the legislative process.
