Women Reservation Bill: For the last two days, there was a heated debate in the Lok Sabha regarding women’s reservation. The government tried its best to get these bills passed by any means, but the opposition remained adamant and ultimately the government had to face defeat.

It was clear from the batting being done by the government that Home Minister Amit Shah himself had taken the command to pass this bill. Yesterday in Lok Sabha, PM Modi also called Akhilesh Yadav his friend. Even today Amit Shah was pointing towards convincing Akhilesh, but despite all its efforts the government could not get these bills passed.

In fact, the opposition remained adamant on its insistence and its effect was clearly visible. All the main opposition parties opposed these bills not only on the floor but also during voting. A total of 528 MPs took part in this voting, in which 298 votes were cast in favor, while 230 votes were cast against. However, the government needed two-thirds majority, i.e. 352 votes, to pass this bill, but the government could not fulfill it.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, ‘The allegation of the opposition leader that he is not allowed to speak is not true. The Leader of the Opposition’s party brought a motion against the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, but he did not speak on that too. He doesn’t want to speak. If you want to speak, you don’t know how to speak as per the rules. This is not a meeting (rally), speaking here has to be done as per rules.

Amit Shah lashed out at Congress in Parliament

Home Minister Amit Shah said that in the first phase of the budget session, such an atmosphere was created in the chamber of the Lok Sabha Speaker that there was concern for the Speaker’s safety. He said that this very House has made the rules for how the Lok Sabha is to be run and no one has the right to speak according to what the rules of the House do not permit. Taking aim at the Congress MPs, he said, ‘When you ignore the rules of functioning of the House, it is the responsibility of the Speaker to stop, interrupt and throw out such a member.’
