"Politically Motivated, Will Fight Women's Quota Bill": M Kharge After Opposition Meet

The Congress said today that while they approve of the quota bill for women in principle, the way the government is implementing it is wrong and politically motivated and the opposition parties will fight against it in parliament. The constitution amendment bill, which needs two-thirds majority to get passed, is expected to be tabled during an extended budget session starting April 16. 

At a press conference today held after a meeting of Opposition parties, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said: "We are in support of the Women's Reservation Bill but have objection to the government's approach. The government's action is politically motivated... There has been manipulation in the delimitation."
