Congress Criticizes Delimitation Initiative as Risky, Claims Womens Law Amendment Seeks Political Advantage in Elections

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, along with Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, will convene with party members and other leaders from the Opposition to formulate strategies for the upcoming special session of Parliament. This meeting aims to address key legislative issues and coordinate responses among the opposition parties.

Jairam Ramesh, a senior Congress leader, has criticized the government’s decision to amend the women’s reservation law during an election period, arguing that such actions contravene the established model code of conduct. The model code is intended to ensure fair play during elections by regulating political conduct and activities.

This discussion comes at a critical time as the special session is expected to address significant legislative priorities, including the empowerment of women through increased political representation. The womens reservation bill, which aims to allocate 33% of seats in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies for women, has been a topic of debate and discussion among various political factions.

The upcoming meeting will also seek to unify the oppositions stance on this issue, as the elections approach. The strategy session will evaluate the potential impact of the proposed amendments and how best to respond within the framework of the electoral guidelines.
