Cong asks BJP to pass Women's Reservation Bill

March 31, 2015 22:32

Assuring its support in both houses of Parliament, Congress today called upon the BJP to pass the Women's Reservation bill and ensure 33 per cent reservation to women in the country.

The BJP has absolute majority government at Centre. I throw a challenge to them to pass the pending Women's Reservation bill now," AICC spokesperson Shobha Ojha, who is also the All India President of Mahila Congress, said.

Ojha, who was in the Steel city to take part in East Singhbhum district Committee Congress's women cell, said at a press meet the UPA government had tried its best to pass the bill during its tenure and even succeeded to pass it in the upper house but failed to do so due to lack of number in the lower house.
