Women Reservation Bill

    On 8th of March of every year world celebrates Women Day, as proceedings of both the houses of Indian parliament are running due to budget session, government consider this day as golden opportunity to respect and honour women of India by tabling women reservation bill today, and as per custom first bill has to be table in the upper house (Rajya Sabha) then members of the house vote after debate on to the bill ,if it pass I the upper house, then bill send to the lower house (Loksabha),as Women reservation bill is supported by not only ruling alliance’s lot of parties barring RJD and Samajwadi Party but also by several opposition parties except BSP, so it was believe that women reservation bill pass on the woman day itself without any hiccups.
Bill : It is a well drafted legislative proposal that later becomes an Act on being approved
          by both the houses of parliament( Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha).
After implementation of women reservation bill, it will be mandatory for reservation of 1/3 seats for women in the Loksabha and State assemblies. Government have sufficient numbers in the Loksabha, but bill can give problems to the government in the Rajya Sabha whose present status is mentioned below and government need two third members in favour of bill –
  • Total number – 245
  • Vacant - 12
  • Present Status - 233
  • To pass Bill - 155
  • Indian National Congress - 71
  • B.J.P. – 45
  • Communist Party of India (Marxist) – 15
  • All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam – 07
  • Nationalist Congress Party – 05
  • Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam 04
  • Biju Janata Dal – 04
  • Sharomani Akali Dal - 03
  • Telugu Desam - 02
  • Trinamool Congress – 02
  • Forward Block – 01
  • Total make the numbers 182 in favour of bill.
   Today when bill presented in the Rajya Sabha, leaders of RJD, Samajwadi Party and BSP who are opponents of the bill knew that they have not numbers in their favour to defeat the bill in the house ,so they opted the unparliamentary way to delay the bill by disrupting the proceedings, started making uproar in the house and even tear off the copies of bill which led to the chairperson of the house to adjourned the house four times, but it appears that bill ,because of aggressive and unparliamentary activities by the leaders of parties who are opposing it ,succeed in their motive for the time being to delay the bill for one more day ,but from government side now its their responsibility that they should not allow such scene happen again tomorrow in the house ,as opponents of the bill, will present in the house to disrupt session again, along with it as per reports on the issue of women reservation bill, RJD and Samajwadi Party withdrawal support to U.P.A.. Opposing bill without numbers, parties know they cannot succeed to defeat the bill in the house but yes can hijack, delay and disrupts Bill as they did today.
