By TCN Staff Reporter,
New Delhi: Just 3 days before the 100th Anniversary International
Women Day, various religious Minority and Dalit groups rejected the
Women Reservation Bill in its present form and urged for an inclusive
one. The proposed bill is likely to be presented in Parliament for
passage on March 8, 2010, which is also 100th Anniversary
International Women Day. The Union Cabinet has already given its nod.
In joint press conference called by All India Milli Council, other
Muslim and minority and Dalit groups feared, "If (the bill) passed in
its present form, it would amount to injustice against the women
belonging to minorities, Dalits and other backward classes. It is our
firm view that the proposed 33 per cent quota in legislatures for
women would lead to further asymmetry in the representation of various
classes and groups in the country."
The groups demanded quota for Muslim, other minority and Dalit women
within the quota for the women reservation in the bill. Groups also
urged political parties to play a constructive and proactive role in
providing justice to the marginalized communities, rising from any
individual and group interests.
