And as usual...the pro congrass news channel NDTV 24x7 continously showeing from 2 days its a historical bill...womens rights done by sonia gandhi..sonia gandhi taken the risk...she creates history etc,,,..evev a a 30 mins interview they have taken with this italian madam by man face barkha dutt..who else !
but lets see little flashback of this bill -
The idea of providing the legal status to the women's rights began with the historic Panchayati Raj Act, 1992 (73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendment). Its quite interesting to note that 'Mannina Maga (son of the soil)', the former prime minister Mr. H.D. Deve Gowda made the actual promise for reservation of seats for women in Parliament and State Assemblies in 1996. Here is the journey of Women's Bill so far
1.Women's Reservation Bill [Constitution (81st Amendment) Bill, 1996] was first introduced in the parliament on 12th September, 1996 by H.D. Deve Gowda's government. The bill did not get pass the hurdles of parliament. Mr. Gowda's government reduced to minority and subsequently 11th lok sabha was dissolved and hence the bill lapsed.
2.In 1998, Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee's government made another attempt by introducing the Women's Bill [Constitution (84th Amendment) Bill, 1998]. Ironically, this time too, the bill was lapsed because 12th loka sabha had to be dissolved prematurely; Vajpayee's government reduced to minority!
3.Yet another attempt was made By Mr Vajpayee's government on December 23, 1999 with the introduction of the Bill in the Lower House. But this bill also could not be pursued due to lack of political consensus.
That time this congASS did not support them(bjp) to pass this bill...but now they(bjp) and left parties helped congass in passing this bill..by voteing in favour of the bill..And that italian madam...saying its the UPA credit...wat a fake credit hungry women
- "Ayes 189, Nos Nil," said Rajya Sabha Chairman Hamid Ansari and history was made ending a journey that began in 1996.
