Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has informed the Rajya Sabha that the Parliament will be adjourned today and will again meet after two to three weeks for an important legislation related to women’s reservation. Replying to Jairam Ramesh of the Congress on legislative business of the House, Mr Rijiju said the government has consulted with over 80 per cent of parties on the matter. He, however, said that the principal opposition party, Congress, has written to the government for convening the Parliament after the conclusion of the Assembly elections. The Minister said, the government is not going arbitrarily and consulting with all the parties and MPs. Mr Rijiju said, women’s Reservation is an issue that should be passed unanimously in Parliament.
Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, demanded an all-party meeting on the matter so that all parties can present their views and move the proposal forward. He said, Congress is not against women’s reservation.
