Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has said that the Women’s Reservation Bill is balanced and fulfills the aspirations of every state, community, and region. He emphasized that the legislation reflects the government’s commitment to ensuring equitable representation of women in Parliament and state assemblies.
Rijiju noted that the bill has been designed to accommodate the concerns of diverse groups across the country, making it inclusive and representative. He added that the measure will strengthen democratic institutions by empowering women leaders at every level.
The minister’s statement comes amid ongoing discussions on the implementation of the Women’s Reservation Bill, which has been passed by Parliament and is linked to the next delimitation exercise. Political observers say the government is highlighting the bill’s broad acceptance to build consensus across parties and states.
Rijiju’s remarks underline the government’s stance that the Women’s Reservation Bill is not only a step toward gender equality but also a framework that respects the aspirations of India’s federal and social diversity.
