The Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, according to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is not a regular law but rather a declaration of New India’s commitment to democracy. PM Modi was speaking at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters in Delhi during the Nari Shakti Vandan-Abhinandan Karyakram.
“The Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam is not an ordinary law; this is a proclamation of the New India’s democratic commitment. This is an evidence of the Modi’s guarantee of women-led development” he said.
The Prime Minister congratulated all women of the country on the historic move of passing the Women’s Reservation Bill with an overwhelming majority in both Houses of Parliament.
“Today, I congratulate all women of the country. Yesterday and the day before, we witnessed the making of a new history. It is our fortune that crores of people gave us the opportunity to create that history,” the PM said.
“This choice and this day will be debated for many generations to come,” he continued. I extend my congratulations to the entire nation on the unanimous passage of the “Nari Shakti Vandan Act” by both Houses of Parliament.
“Sometimes a decision has the potential to change the destiny of a country. Today we all have become witnesses of one such decision” the Prime Minister added.
PM Modi said that the dream for which the country has been waiting for the last several decades has now come true.
“The passage of this bill in both houses of the Parliament demonstrates how a nation with a majority government can function,” he continued. We never allowed anyone to obstruct the reservation for women out of political self-interest. The Prime Minister extended his gratitude to all political parties and lawmakers for supporting the Bill in Parliament.
