The Indian National Congress is demanding an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the delay in implementing the women's reservation law. The law, which provides 33% reservation to women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, was passed unanimously in 2023 but its implementation has been delayed due to the government's dependence on the delimitation and census exercises.
The Congress has alleged that the Modi government's U-turn on the implementation of the women's reservation law is aimed at covering up its failures in governance and foreign policy. The party claims that the PM owes an apology to the women of India for not implementing the law from 2024 as demanded by the Congress. The law was passed unanimously in 2023, but its implementation has been delayed. The government has now announced that it will amend the law to make it enforceable from the 2029 general elections. The Congress has criticized the government's move, calling it a U-turn that exposes its unwillingness to engage with the opposition. The government's decision has been seen as an attempt to gain political mileage ahead of the upcoming elections.
