Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that the Women’s Reservation Act was passed after a long wait and urged all political parties to support its implementation in the 2029 elections without further delay, calling it the “collective sentiment” of the nation, PTI reported. 

Call for consensus on women’s quota

“Let all political parties come together to unanimously take forward this initiative, which concerns the rights of the nation’s sisters and daughters,” he said at a public meeting ahead of the three-day special sittings of Parliament from April 16 to consider a legislative package, including amendments to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, to implement the quota for women from the 2029 Lok Sabha elections.
