Women's Reservation Bill is officially a law now. President Droupadi Murmu has given her assent to the Women's Reservation Bill, days after a historic vote. The new law provides 33 percent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies.
Earlier, Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar signed the women's reservation bill before it was presented to President Murmu for her assent.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that without appropriate participation of women in politics, one cannot talk about inclusive society and democratic integration.
While addressing a BJP event after unveiling a statue of its ideologue Deendayal Upadhyaya on his birth anniversary on September 26 in Delhi, PM Modi said the passage of the women's reservation bill in Parliament is not only a win for democracy but also for the party's ideology.
