Special Parliament Session Day 3: The highly-anticipated special session of the Parliament on Wednesday was a historic day as the Women’s Reservation Bill was passed with nearly unanimous approval in the Lok Sabha. Notably, the Bill was introduced in the new Lok Sabha by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday but due to the adjournment of the House. During the session, PM Modi had emphasized the need for the inclusion of more women in policy-making so that their contributions to the nation increase further.
It should be noted that the Parliament’s special session started on September 18 and will conclude on September 22. MPs on September 19 were shifted from the old Parliament building to the new one. PM Modi urged all not to forget the old building as it will remain a witness to a myriad of historic decisions and moments.
