Defeat of Nari Shakti Vandan Act: A Black Day for Women

In a dramatic turn of events, the rejection of the Nari Shakti Vandan Amendment Act in Parliament has been called a 'black day' for women by Uttarakhand Assembly Speaker Ritu Khanduri Bhushan.

The 131st Constitution Amendment Bill, crucial for the implementation of the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam 2023, was not passed, a move Bhushan described as a 'missed opportunity.' In a poignant video message, she expressed the collective disappointment of women, highlighting that it was a potential historic moment.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had strongly presented the bill in the Lok Sabha, underscoring its importance. However, the defeat was a significant setback, evoking widespread sadness and concern among women across the nation.
