New Delhi: Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Sunday joined the political skirmish between Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi over women's reservation in legislatures, calling for delinking it from census and delimitation exercises.
On Saturday, an exchange of words broke out on X, with Rijiju insisting the Women's Reservation Bill cannot come into force before the 2034 general elections because it hinges on a delimitation exercise tied to post-2026 census data, and Rahul Gandhi hitting back that the law was passed unanimously three years ago and should be implemented "without any conditions."
