Congress and BJP MPs scuttle seat reservation for women
This had to happen, but it took that long because no-one in their stupid political correct mind (read: cowardly mind) could take on the notion that women empowerment and women reservation in parliament need not be done by trampling on democratic rights of people to contest elections, and citizens to choose their candidates. Congress left isolated on women’s quota NEW DELHI: The women’s bill seems to be going nowhere. On Monday, BJP offered to consider the option of letting political parties implement the 33% quota while Congress’s own allies Trinamool Congress, NCP and National Conference urged that the objections of …[Continue Reading]
Indira Jaising with her feminazi logic, read and appreciate
The additional solicitor general of India, Indira Jaising who is also a prominent feminazi writes about women in parliament, but the article betrays the warped and perverse mentality of all feminists. Tomorrow we will see the power of women in Parliament It came as a shock to me that in most developed countries, including Germany and the Netherlands, women constitute not more than 5 per cent of elected representatives in parliamentary bodies. I also learnt that women do not receive equal pay for equal work in these countries. Indeed, while reporting on the Netherlands, the minister said that women ‘choose’ …[Continue Reading]
Mulayam Yadav cites danger about males missing in parliament
I was pleased to note that the danger of males being left out of parliament posted on this blog a while ago is now being voiced by Mr Mulayam Singh Yadav. He deserves some respect for this because there are very few politicians who are doing straight talk about provisions of WRB which are a clear infringement on Indian men’s constitutional rights. So it seems that the message about ills of present women’s reservation bill are spreading and politicians are not afraid to voice them. http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_women-s-bill-won-t-let-a-male-be-elected-to-lok-sabha-mulayam-singh_1362475 He said not a single male would be elected to the Lok Sabha 10 …[Continue Reading]
Could women take over the whole parliament excluding men?
Someone sent this analysis of Women’s reservation bill in its present form, wherein seats are reserved for women candidates only by rotation in every election. It does look like a scary scenario, given the fact that as of now, a woman candidate has higher chance of being elected (1 in 12) compared to a man (1 in 15) in Lok Sabha. So although only few women candidates stand for elections right now, the electorate has shown a preference for women candidates overall. It could also be that since only few women candidates are given tickets by political parties, these few …[Continue Reading]
Increase women representation, don’t create quotas
Karan Thapar has succinctly put the problems of Women Reservation Bill (WRB) in its current form, in an article here. First, as a principle, reservations cause offence because they amount to discrimination. India accepts that the scheduled castes and tribes (SC/ST), given their special history, deserve reservations. No such consensus exists for women. Second, on top of 22.5 per cent for SC/ST, 33 per cent for women (although some of it would overlap) would push up total reservations in the Lok Sabha to around 48 per cent. It means non-SC/ST men (78 per cent of the male population) can only …[Continue Reading]
Saner voices on women representation appearing now
http://beta.thehindu.com/news/states/other-states/article231543.ece Shiv Sena, an ally of NDA, which voted for the Women’s Reservation Bill in Rajya Sabha, on Thursday said it will oppose it if marshals were called in and force was used to pass the measure in Lok Sabha. … … Senior party leader and former Lok Sabha Speaker Manohar Joshi said the party is not opposed to 33 per cent reservation for women but constituencies should not be reserved and instead it should be made mandatory for the parties to give 33 per cent reservation to women. It is becoming evidently clear to all MPs that the lottery …[Continue Reading]
Sharad Joshi in Rajya Sabha has valid points against WRB
NEW DELHI: The only member in Rajya Sabha, who voted against the Women’s Reservation Bill to provide one-third of all seats in India’s parliament for women, was Sharad Joshi of a little-known party Shetkari Sangathana of Maharashtra. He said he supported women’s empowerment but the bill would only prove fatal to Indian democracy, as two-third of the elected representatives would be inexperienced. He also stressed that the two-third of the MPs and MLAs would lose interest in serving their constituencies as they would be unsure of a second term, and that includes all female representatives. It will be fatal …[Continue Reading]
70% of all BJP MPs are opposed to Women Reservation Bill
http://www.indianexpress.com/news/BJP-chief-whip-spills-it-out–70–of-MPs-oppose-Women-s-Bill/589444 “At least seventy per cent of MPs are protesting against the women’s reservation Bill and the way the party supported the Bill despite marshals being used in Rajya Sabha. Top leaders of the party have assured that grievances of the MPs will be taken into account,” Bais told The Indian Express, adding that Murli Manohar Joshi and Yashwant Sinha had already held the first round of discussions. I would not be too surprised at such a statistic. After all, the resentment against 33% women’s reservation has been suppressed only because of overall media championing and political-correctness of the ‘cause’ …[Continue Reading]
