BJP to hold protest rally in support of Women’s Reservation:CM says, ‘Will call special Assembly session, accuses Congress of snatching women’s rights’

At the BJP state office in Bhopal on Sunday, Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav said that democracy is going through a decisive phase, and the developments in Parliament are highly condemnable and distressing. It is noteworthy that the Modi government could not pass the 131st Constitutional Amendment Bill related to the Women’s Reservation Bill in the Lok Sabha. CM Yadav further said that while the disrobing of Draupadi is something heard of from 5,000 years ago, the way events unfolded in Parliament, playing with the dignity of women, is extremely distressing and condemnable. He added that the decision taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah as proposers gave every party an opportunity to offer suggestions from the beginning. Modi also wrote an open letter to everyone so that no one could claim they were not given a chance to speak or were not consulted. During the event, BJP State President Hemant Khandelwal, National Vice President Rekha Verma, Minister Krishna Gaur, Women’s Wing State President Ashwani Paranjape, MLA Archana Chitnis, and Media In-charge Ashish Agrawal were also present. Nari Shakti Vandan Yatra to be taken out tomorrow Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that the government and party will now go among the people on the issue of women’s reservation. He informed that Nari Shakti Vandan Padyatra will be taken out on Monday, and there will be a phased movement across the state. Demonstrations will be held in all districts. Condemnation resolutions will be passed at the Municipal Corporation, Municipal Council and Nagar Panchayat levels. He said that a one-day special session of the Assembly will be called to discuss this issue, and a condemnation resolution will also be brought. The CM alleged that the opposition has done an injustice to women’s rights, which will be exposed before the public. He clearly stated that this campaign has already started with the press conference and will now be taken forward at every level; the government is not going to stop on this issue. Opposition is protesting because elections are near The CM said that the same act which everyone passed and supported in 2023, the opposition has now turned against it. When elections were near, they supported it, but now, when elections are approaching, they are protesting. This is extremely unfortunate. He said that the opposition’s mentality appears not democratic but separatist, and I strongly condemn it. The CM said that today, when it came to giving rights to sisters, the opposition humiliated them by making excuses. He alleged that Congress has made wrong decisions on issues like triple talaq before as well, and ignored women’s rights. North-South controversy is being unnecessarily created The CM said that in 1971, the country’s population was 55-54 crores, and today it has exceeded 140 crores, so seats should also increase in the same proportion. The Home Minister answered every question on this subject and clarified that the North-South dispute is being unnecessarily created. Seats will increase in South India as well. The CM said that it seems the opposition has decided not to let sisters get their rights. He said that this reservation was not talked about before 2014; this is also a question. The sin of stopping the caste-based census is also on Congress’s head. A procession will be taken out in the state The CM said that even if someone is ahead in numbers, they will not be forgiven for hurting the hearts of the country’s sisters. The public is the biggest court. On this issue, public awareness will be created across the country through the government, the party and society. He said that foot marches and protest meetings will be organised in the state. Today’s press conference is the first link in this chain, after which demonstrations will be held. Further, resolutions will be passed in various districts, municipalities, municipal corporations and nagar panchayats. If needed, this issue will also be raised by calling a one-day session of the Legislative Assembly. He said that we are not going to stop. Khandelwal said that Opposition’s mentality is anti-women Meanwhile, BJP State President Hemant Khandelwal said that there was an important issue related to half the population of the country in Parliament, which the opposition, Rahul Gandhi and his associates, made clear that their mentality is anti-women. I believe that the celebration of Congress was, in a way, an insult to our sisters. You all are aware that for the past several years, all parties in some form or another wanted women’s reservation to be implemented, but when the matter of implementing it came up, the real face of the opposition was exposed. ‘Opposition did not support the bill’ BJP National Vice President Rekha Verma said that the Nari Shakti Vandan Act came up for discussion in Parliament on April 16 and 17. On April 16, everyone presented their views, and on April 17, after discussion, this bill was to be passed and implemented, but the opposition opposed the Nari Shakti Vandan Act. For 70 years, the women of the country had been fighting for their rights and demanding 33% reservation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah were continuously making efforts to ensure that women get their rights. But when this bill came to Parliament in 2023, the opposition supported it for political reasons, because Lok Sabha elections were coming after that. When it came to implementing it, the opposition opposed it. She said that the government wanted all parties to come together to implement this bill, but the opposition opposed it.
