00:01Leaders from Samajwadi Party and the RJD tore up the bill in this house and said this women
00:08reservation bill will pass only over my dead body. The country remembers this kind of emphatic
00:14opposition that they gave to the women reservation bill at that time.
00:17Yes.
00:19He was still there. 30 years ago he was still there.
00:24Today the Nari Shakti Vandan Adheniyam which was passed by only the Bharatiya Janta Party
00:31and Narendra Modi Ji's cause was passed by.
00:35Adhek Ji, even today the opposition has now come up with a new argument, a new pretext
00:44to further stall and further disturb and oppose the application of the women reservation bill.
00:52And the new pretext that they have come up with is this vacuous opposition, this baseless opposition
01:01to the delimitation exercise. When the Nari Shakti Adheniyam was passed in 2023 and it was passed
01:10unanimously, all political parties agree that the Nari Shakti Vandan Adheniyam, the women reservation bill,
01:19will be applicable after the census and a delimitation is undertaken. This is the mandate of the constitution
01:27that everybody voted for. Today the opposition has taken a U-turn. They are now opposing the fast-tracking of
01:38this bill
01:38in the 2029 elections and saying we want to oppose this because we don't want the delimitation exercise to take
01:45place.
01:46I come from the south of the country, the southern state of Karnataka, Speaker Sir, just like you represent from
01:52Canada.
01:55Speaker Sir, over the last three days we have seen a systematic misleading and propaganda by certain members of the
02:05opposition
02:05in the most irresponsible anarchic fashion to mislead the people in the south of India.
02:13Let me make it very clear. If at all there was anything, even an ounce of injustice that the proposals
02:21that the government has made,
02:23has brought to the parliament, even if there was an ounce of injustice to the south of India,
02:28I as a proud Kannadiga would have been the first to oppose such kind of a proposal.
02:33I have gone through the proposal that the state, the government of India has brought, the Modi government has brought.
02:39I am saying this not as a member of the BJP, but I am saying this after thoroughly examining all
02:45the three proposals,
02:46that other than the practical proposal that the Modi government has brought for delimitation of seats in the country,
02:54the south of India and the smaller states of India that have controlled our population,
02:59we could not have got a better deal than this. This is the best deal that the Narendra Modi government
03:05has provided.
03:05Thank you very much.
