Hema Malini heaps praises on
PM Modi for bringing in the Women’s Reservation Bill

In the midst of the Women’s Reservation Bill having emerged as a debatable issue among the opposition, Hema Malini BJP MP heaped praises on bringing the women’s reservation bill in Parliament and attacked the Opposition for opposing the bill by saying that it was their “job to do it”. Her comments came from the BJP MP amid the Special Session of Parliament, in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.

Further while interacting with a news agency, Hema Malini asserted that whatever
PM Modi has done, he has done with good intentions. No other Prime Minister has done it ever.
It requires guts and PM Modi had it.

Hema Malini added that all of country’s women would participate in the development and be a part of it.

Reportedly, with 454 members in support and only two against, the Women’s Reservation Bill easily crossed the benchmark of two-thirds support required for constitutional amendments. The Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam or the 128th Constitution (Amendment) Bill is being discussed in the Rajya Sabha.

Lok Sabha passed the women’s reservation bill on Wednesday, which will reserve a third of seats for women in national and state legislatures with an overwhelming majority, marking the first time such legislation has cleared the Lower House since a similar bill was first introduced nearly three decades ago.

Amidst the nine-hour debate, the Opposition, led by Congress parliamentary party chief Sonia Gandhi, demanded quota for women from backward groups and alleged that the timeline for the implementation of the bill was too long, but almost all of them ended up backing the legislation.

Meanwhile, Only the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) members Asaduddin Owaisi and Imtiaz Jaleel voted against the bill.
