On the second day of the Special Session of Parliament, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha met in the newly inaugurated Parliament building, marking a watershed moment in India's parliamentary history.
Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal introduced the historic Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam Constitutional Amendment bill earlier today. This proposed bill would reserve one-third of the seats in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies for women, with the goal of promoting gender equality and women's empowerment in politics.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a gathering of Members of Parliament in the iconic Central Hall, calling for a collective commitment to transform India into a developed nation by 2047. He hailed the new Parliament building's inauguration as a "new beginning towards a new future" and proposed renaming the old Parliament building 'Samvidhan Sadan' in honor of India's constitutional legacy.
The Special Session of Parliament is scheduled to last until September 22, and it promises to be a watershed moment in India's legislative history as lawmakers deliberate on critical bills and policy issues.
The introduction of the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam is expected to spark extensive debates and discussions as the country moves closer to ensuring greater representation of women in its legislative bodies. Stay tuned for more information on this historic meeting.
