Women's organisations under the National Coalition for Women's Reservation held a protest in Delhi on Friday, demanding the unconditional implementation of the Women's Reservation Bill during the current Monsoon session of Parliament. The protesters, gathered at Jantar Mantar, urged that the 33% reservation for women in Lok Sabha and state assemblies take effect immediately, without waiting for the census and delimitation exercise. The Constitution (106th Amendment) Act, 2023, mandates that the quota applies only after the first post-act census and subsequent delimitation. The NDA government is in talks with opposition parties on the Delimitation Bill. AIPWA leaders accused the BJP of linking the quota to delimitation to advance communal politics, citing elections in Assam and Jammu and Kashmir as examples. They also claimed women's names were being deleted from electoral rolls.
