Ahead of the special five-day session of Parliament starting from September 18, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) MLC and former MP K. Kavitha has requested the presidents of 47 political parties having representation in Parliament, and others to press for passing the Women’s Reservation Bill this time by keeping aside their differences.
In separate letters addressed to presidents of political parties on Tuesday, she said increased women’s representation was not a matter of exclusivity but a way to build more equitable and balanced political landscape with gender equality and political empowerment in the country.
The former Lok Sabha member from Nizamabad urged the parties, particularly those having representation in Parliament, to unite and pass the long-awaited Women’s Reservation Bill.
