SAD MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal Slams Centre Over Women's Reservation Bill

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Wednesday expressed her strong disapproval by criticising the central government for incorporating census and delimitation provisions into the Women's Reservation Bill. 

She remarked that women have once more been let down within the predominantly male-dominated parliament.

Voicing her concerns regarding the Women's Reservation Bill, Badal stated, "Devil in the detail came across...The census was to be held in 2021 and now 2023 is about to end and it hasn't been done yet and we don't know when will it happen." 

She further expressed, "After the census, delimitation will take place and then this Reservation Bill will be implemented...Why did you bring this bill when you're not implementing it?... This male-dominated parliament betrayed women." 

The MP pointed out that if the central government was capable enough to implement measures such as demonetization, lockdowns, and the GST bill overnight, then it should have been equally competent in implementing the Women's Reservation Bill without any delays. 

She questioned the motivations behind the apparent delay in implementing the Women's Reservation Bill, suggesting that the reasons behind this delay lacked transparency and clarity.

Badal remarked, "Since Independence, the census is conducted after every 10 years. The census should have happened in 2021." 

She further highlighted, " This is not going to be implemented for the next 5 to 6 years. With only six months left for the elections what was the need to introduce this bill when the centre is not going to implement it now?"
