Prime Minister Narendra Modi lambasted the Congress and its allies in his address to the nation on the Women's Reservation Bill on Saturday, saying they committed what he called "foeticide of this honest endeavour".
"Before the eyes of the entire nation, the Congress and its allies have committed the 'foeticide' of this honest endeavour. Parties like the Congress, the Samajwadi Party, and the DMK are the perpetrators of this act. They have committed an offence against the Constitution and against the womanhood of this country," he said.
