Parliament Live: Oppn Against Women’s Quota: Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah — Sansad TV

New Delhi: “Every MP from the INDIA alliance has tried to oppose women’s reservation,” said Home Minister Amit Shah.

BJP MP Nishikant Dubey attacks the Congress party, says April 17 was the day in 1987 when Rajiv Gandhi faced Bofors allegations for the first time. “April 17 was also the day when Congress brought down the Vajpayee government in 1999,” he added.

Earlier, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi while speaking in Lok Sabha said: “Women are a driving force in our national perspective,” he said, adding that “This is not a women’s bill; this has nothing to do with empowerment of women,” referring to the Women’s Reservation Bill.

Speaking in Lok Sabha during debate on Women’s Reservation Bill, LoP and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, says, “Women are a central force, a driving force in our national imagination, in our national perspective. All of us, every single one in this room has been influenced, taught, learnt a lot from women in their lives. Mothers, sisters, wives, as Rijiju ji said. Of course, prime minister and myself don’t have that wife issue. So, we don’t get that input but we have our mothers and sisters. Yesterday, my sister achieved something that I have not been able to do in may be 20 years of our political career which was to make Amit Shah ji smile.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday April 17, 2026 urged all political parties to rise above differences and support the amendment to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam.He emphasised that “the eyes of millions of women” are watching Parliament as voting in the Lok Sabha draws near.

The Lok Sabha is set to continue discussions and take up voting on key legislative proposals on Friday, including the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026, the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026, and the Delimitation Bill, 2026.

The Constitution Amendment Bill seeks to provide 33 per cent reservation for women in Parliament and State Assemblies, while the Union Territories Bill proposes extending the provision to Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir. The Delimitation Bill aims to increase and redraw Lok Sabha constituencies, raising the total number of seats to 850.

According to the Lok Sabha’s list of business, all three bills will be discussed together. Union Law and Justice Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are expected to move motions for the passage of the amendments.

On Thursday, the Lok Sabha held a marathon 12-hour debate on the Women’s Reservation Bill amendments, which propose removing the requirement to implement the quota only after a census. The bills were introduced following a vote in which 251 members supported the measures, while 185 opposed them.

The debate saw participation from several leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, along with opposition figures such as Akhilesh Yadav, Asaduddin Owaisi, and KC Venugopal.

The Congress has urged the government to withdraw the bill in its current form and convene an all-party meeting to build consensus. Party leader KC Venugopal argued that the government is attempting to push delimitation through the Women’s Reservation amendment.

Opposition leaders, including Owaisi, have also expressed concerns that the proposed changes could reduce the opposition’s representation in the House.

Leaders from southern states, including DMK and Congress MPs, have raised apprehensions that the delimitation exercise may disproportionately impact southern regions such as Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Kerala. Responding to these concerns, Amit Shah assured the House that southern states would see nearly a 50 per cent increase in seats and that their overall share would not decline.

The developments come as Parliament’s special session focuses on major structural reforms with potential long-term implications for political representation in India. Live Updates

BJP has always supported women’s participation in Parliament: Amit Shah

Speaking on women’s reservation, Shah says participation of women in politics has increased gradually over the years, citing that there were 22 women members in the first Lok Sabha, 51 in the 14th, a record 71 in the 17th, and 75 in the 18th. This data reflects a stable upward trend. “We need to provide a larger platform to further enhance this participation.”

The government has supported this effort in both letter and spirit. “Members like Uma Bharti, Anandiben Patel, Sushma Swaraj and Vasundhara Raje were pioneers in leading States. Now, Delhi has a woman Chief Minister. Congress never has appointed a woman Chief Minister,” he adds.

Congress has always opposed caste-based reservation: Amit Shah

Replying to the debate, Home Minister Amit Shah says the Congress party has historically opposed caste-based census and reservation.

In 1990, when Rajiv Gandhi became the PM, it was accepted, and he gave a two-and-a-half-hour speech and opposed OBC reservation,” Shah says.

Winning the election is more important for the Congress. For the BJP, representation of the people of our country, and their participation in the electoral process hold prominence, says Shah.

Intervening during LoP Rahul Gandhi’s speech, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said, “… You have made a wrong misleading statement. I have to clarify… Rahul Gandhi is talking about reservation in Parliament for OBCs and religious minorities. That is not permissible. When Congress ruled this country for more than 60 years, why did the Congress Party not provide constitutional reservation for OBCs? The Congress has to answer. Rajiv Gandhi ji had opposed OBC reservation. When Rajiv Gandhi ji was Prime Minister and even when he was not Prime Minister, he opposed OBC reservation. The Prime Minister of that time, Rajiv Gandhi ji, had done so. Can Rahul Gandhi ji answer why Rajiv Gandhi ji opposed OBC reservation?”

SP MP accuses govt of misrepresenting Opposition, likens it to “wolf” in Little Red Riding Hood Samajwadi Party MP Dimple Yadav on Friday criticised the Centre’s approach to women’s reservation and delimitation, calling its commitment to women’s empowerment a “facade.”

Speaking in the Lok Sabha, Yadav used a literary analogy, comparing the government to the wolf in the classic tale Little Red Riding Hood, accusing it of deception.

“The government’s commitment to ensure women’s empowerment through delimitation is a facade,” she said.

Yadav also alleged that the Centre was misrepresenting the Opposition’s stance on the Women’s Reservation Bill, asserting that Opposition parties had supported and ensured the passage of the Nari Shakti Adhiniyam in 2023.

“The government is misrepresenting that the Opposition is opposing the Bill,” she said, adding that the Opposition has consistently backed women’s reservation.

Questioning the government’s intent, she said that if there was genuine commitment, key steps like conducting the Census would have already been completed. “If the government truly wanted women’s empowerment, the Census would have been conducted by now and women would already have got their rights,” she said.

Yadav further alleged that the amendment was politically motivated, claiming it was brought in due to concerns over declining vote share.

Her remarks came during the ongoing debate in the Lok Sabha on delimitation and the Women’s Reservation Bill during the special Parliament session.

“Why wasn’t the census conducted over the last 2.5 years? Had this happened, the women’s reservation would have been implemented… why is the government showing so much haste?” she asked.

Alleging political motives, she said the Samajwadi Party believes the Centre intends to use the delimitation exercise as a “weapon.”

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor starts speaking in LS: “We must be candid about what the implications of the delimitation are… Delimitation requires deliberation. There are three major faultlines: the balance between small and big and big states. Then, the balance between states like TN and Kerala which have implemented national golas of population goals. And states in the north which have not. In delimitation, states which have failed to control population will be rewarded with greater political weight. We must ask if this is the message we want to send… Third, the balance between the states that have been engines of our econonomy and that those that are net recipients of central funds.”
