New Delhi, April 12: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said it is imperative that the 2029 Lok Sabha and Assembly elections are conducted with women’s reservation in place and asked all political parties to come together in one voice to pass the amendments to the women’s reservation law.
In a letter to the floor leaders of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, ahead of the three-day special sitting of Parliament, Modi also said that any society progresses only when women have the opportunity to progress, make decisions and, more importantly, to lead.
He said that for India to realise its vision of becoming a developed nation, it is essential that women play a greater, active role in this journey.
“After extensive deliberations, we have reached the conclusion that the time has now come to implement the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam in its true spirit across the country.
“It is imperative that the 2029 Lok Sabha elections and Assembly elections are conducted with women’s reservation in place,” the Prime Minister said in his letter dated April 11. (PTI)
