Minister for Women and Child Welfare Lakshmi Hebbalkar has welcomed the Union government’s decision to introduce the women’s reservation Bill in Parliament.
“I am happy that that a Bill to provide reservation to women in legislative bodies has been introduced on the first day of the special session of Parliament,” Ms. Hebbalkar said.
A law towards this was long pending. It will lead to empowerment of women in the field of politics, especially, she said.
