In a striking open letter, CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat calls on Prime Minister Modi to act decisively on women's reservation in parliament, urging the government not to tie the bill's fate to census and delimitation issues. Karat emphasizes immediate implementation without conditionalities.
Karat recalls decades of struggle led by women's organizations, accusing Modi of inaction despite BJP's electoral promises. She points out that women's representation in the Lok Sabha could have been significantly higher if the bill were unhindered by political maneuvers.
The Left leader criticizes the government's deliberate delay in the census process and demands a separate discussion on delimitation. She condemns the patriarchal approach within politics and stresses the need for action, not theatrics, for empowering women in legislative roles.
