When an absolute majority of Government came to power in the country, such a huge work could be completed…We did not let anyone’s selfishness become a wall before women’s reservation. Before this, whenever this Bill came before the Parliament, only whitewash was done and determined efforts were never made…People did vote for the Bill but a few people felt uneasy about why have the words ‘Nari Shakti Vandan’ been brought. Shouldn’t the women of the country be given salutations?…Should there be so much arrogance in men and our political ideology that we are unhappy over ‘Nari Shakti Vandan’? Now, when there is stable govt, the Bill is a reality…”
The passing of this bill in both houses of the Parliament shows how a country with a majority government can work. We never let anyone’s political self-interests obstruct women’s reservation: PM Modi on the passage of the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam in Parliament
