Women's reservation Bill finds support at Kumaon Lit Fest
Highlights
Support for reservation quota for women in parliament found its resonance on Thursday among participants at the ongoing Kumaon Literature Festival as well.
​Jim Corbett (Uttarakhand): Support for reservation quota for women in parliament found its resonance on Thursday among participants at the ongoing Kumaon Literature Festival as well.
Speaking at a packed session of the festival's second edition here, women speakers flayed the stalling of the bill that grants 33 per cent reservation to women in parliament.
"Issues regarding Women's Reservation Bill need to be discussed across all parties, especially those opposing it, so that it gets passed in the Lok Sabha," said Nupur Sharma, a young leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
"It should be the responsibility of each political party to allocate one-third of their tickets to women candidates," Sharma said.
