Congress president and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, said on Wednesday that the Opposition will fully cooperate with the debate on the Women’s Reservation Bill while questioning the “intentions” of the Centre in bringing the same.
He also alleged that the central government is publicizing the bill in view of elections. He further insisted on bringing the bill to implementation and added that the loopholes and drawbacks should be rectified.
“In 2010, we had passed the bill in the Rajya Sabha. But it failed to be passed by the Lok Sabha. That is why this is not a new bill. Had they taken that bill forward, it would have been done quickly by this day. I feel that they are publicising this in view of elections, but actually, unless the delimitation or census takes place.
