Women’s Reservation Bill was passed by Rajya Sabha in 2010 and it was not taken up in Lok Sabha and lapsed in the lower House of Parliament. Union Minister Anurag Thakur distributed sweets to special women invitees, at the Parliament on Tuesday. Talking exclusively to ANI, Haryanvi dancer and Bigg Boss 10 fame Sapna Choudhary said, “This is just the beginning, many bills are yet to be passed. I would like to thank PM Modi for understanding and supporting women so much.” The Women's Reservation Bill seeks to reserve 33 per cent of seats in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies for women. Despite being a crucial step towards gender parity and inclusive governance, the Bill has remained in legislative limbo for far too long.
