Delhi/Hyderabad, Sept 29 (Hydnow): The ‘nari shakti Vandan Adhniyam” which provides 33 percent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha as well as the State Legislative Assemblies, became law after it received assent from President Droupadi Murmu.
On September 20, the Bill was passed following division with 454 members voting in favor of the legislation and two against it on the motion seeking its passage. The amendments moved by the Opposition members were negatived and separate clauses of the draft legislation were also voted on.
On September 21, Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam was ‘unanimously’ passed in Rajya Sabha which marks the PM’s birthday according to the Hindu calendar.
