Next should be Women-Reservation-Bill with Vice President raising voice in its favour

 

Present NDA-2 government centre is day-by-day making dream-come-true on its poll-promises. Next in line should be legislating Uniform Civil Code, Population-Control, Massive and consolidated poll-reforms including simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and state-assemblies, and Women-Reservation-Bill.

Vice President of India on 11.11.2019 raised his voice in support of reservation for women in legislation. Women though being 50-percent of population, get only a minute representation in law-making system. Many political parties cry for reservation on man-made aspects like religion and cast evidently for vote-bank politics, but oppose reservation to women which still remain dominated section of society created by nature in our male-dominated political system. Even Islamic world including Pakistan and many other democratic countries have adopted Women-Reservation in legislature.

Election Commission formula to make it compulsory for every political party to give at least 33-percent party-tickets to women may be immediately enforced as an interim measure, till Indian women get their legitimate right for 33-percent state-wise reservation in legislature. Moreover to prevent wives or other relations being misused as proxy of male politicians, there should be a system whereby name or photo of husband or any other male relation may not be permitted in election-campaigns of women candidates. Instead of having women-quota in panchayats and local bodies 50-percent, there should be uniform 33-perecent reservation for women at all stages from civic bodies to Parliament.
