Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala has slammed the Centre's proposed amendments to the Women's Reservation Amendment Bill, describing the move as a threat to national unity and democracy.
During a press briefing in Delhi, Chennithala criticized the government's lack of sincerity regarding women's reservation, insisting changes should be enacted with the existing number of seats in the Lok Sabha.
