The Union government notified enforcement of The Constitution (106th Amendment) Act, 2023, granting 33% reservation for women in legislatures. Effective April 16, measure mandates quota in Lok Sabha and state assemblies.
Shashi Tharoor criticises the Centre over proposed changes to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, calling them politically motivated. He urges that women’s reservation be implemented fairly without harming federal balance or parliamentary integrity.
