- Kairana MP Iqra Hasan raised questions on Nari Shakti Vandan Act.
- She asked for quota for all minority women.
- Demanded separate provision for economically weaker sections.
- Accused the government of hiding reservation behind delimitation.
Samajwadi Party MP from Kairana, Uttar Pradesh, Iqra Hasan raised serious questions on the government regarding the ‘Nari Shakti Vandan’ Act introduced in the Lok Sabha and the delimitation and census. During this, she went one step ahead of her party’s national president Akhilesh Yadav. This part of the Kairana MP’s statement is being considered as his smart move.
Let us tell you that Akhilesh and Azamgarh MP Dharmendra Yadav had demanded separate reservation for Muslim women under women’s reservation, which was termed as unconstitutional demand by Home Minister Amit Shah and Union Minister Kiren Rijiju. Now Iqra played a different bet on this issue.

State should support election expenses- Iqra
He demanded sub-reservation (sub-quota) for OBC and deprived class women. The MP also suggested that separate provisions should be made for OBC, minority and poor class women and the state should support the election expenses.

Along with this, she said that the Women’s Reservation Bill has been passed unanimously in 2023, so now the issue is not about women’s reservation, but it is related to electoral gains. Iqra Hasan alleged that the government is hiding reservation under the guise of delimitation and census, and this is a betrayal of women’s rights. He said that earlier the government had said that women’s reservation would be implemented after 2034, and now there is talk of implementing it in 2029, which is contradictory.
