New Delhi, April 18: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation on Saturday following the failure of the Women’s Reservation Bill in the Lok Sabha. During his speech, he criticized opposition parties, including Congress, the Samajwadi Party, DMK, and Trinamool Congress, for their stance against the bill. He stated that these parties have deprived half of the country’s population of their rights due to their narrow-minded and self-serving politics. Modi emphasized that family-oriented parties do not want women outside their families to progress in politics.
In his address, Modi highlighted ten significant points regarding the Women’s Reservation Bill, discussing the benefits it would bring to all states and the repercussions of its failure. He also shed light on the mentality behind the opposition to the bill.
1. Modi acknowledged that while they did not secure the necessary 66% votes to pass the bill, he believes they have the blessing of 100% of the nation’s women.
2. He noted that by stripping women of their rights, the opposition was not merely making noise; they were attacking women’s dignity and self-respect. Women may forget many things, but they never forget their humiliation.
3. The Women’s Reservation Amendment is a demand of the times, aimed at achieving equal growth across all regions of the country.
4. He criticized Congress and its allies for their failure to support this honest initiative, which he likened to a ‘fetus murder’ in the House.
5. A major reason for the opposition to the Women’s Reservation Bill is the fear of family-oriented parties that empowered women could threaten their leadership.
6. The government has made it clear from the outset that there will be no change in the representation ratio of any state, and all states will see an equal increase in seats.
7. By opposing women’s reservation, Congress has once again proven itself to be an anti-reform party, adhering to a principle of delay and obstruction.
8. This issue is not about failure or credit; he stated in Parliament that if half the population receives their rights, he would gladly give credit to the opposition through advertisements.
9. Modi assured every woman in the country that they would eliminate all obstacles in the path of women’s reservation.
10. He firmly stated that those parties opposing the Women’s Reservation Amendment are taking women’s empowerment for granted.
