Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent comments on the Women’s Reservation Bill have intensified the ongoing political debate. Modi accused the opposition of blocking the bill for the past three decades, drawing sharp criticism from Independent Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal. Sibal remarked, “If the Prime Minister genuinely cared about women’s rights, he could have pushed for this bill earlier. In the context of the 2024 elections, it’s clear that this bill is more about political manoeuvring than empowering women. The middle class of our nation seems to have lost its moral compass. Failing to address the desperate plight of women reflects poorly on our society.”
