"We are ready for the complete implementation of women's reservation with the existing 543 seats... We are again requesting the government to withdraw the bill, call an all-party meeting and reach a consensus on all these things," Congress leader K C Venugopal told reporters.
"The 2023 legislation, which they passed, was notified yesterday night. In 2023, the entire House passed the Women's Reservation Bill.... At least whenever you are moving an amendment for that legislation, it is the government's duty to ensure that it is notified... If they have any sincerity on the women's reservation bill, why this delay? Yesterday, the entire opposition made the charge that you only delayed the Women's Reservation Bill. This substantiates that...
On the Minister's statement in Lok Sabha on Thursday; Venugopal said: " ... Yesterday, the Home Minister actually misguided the House. He is saying that 0.2 % or 0.1 % increase is there. What does it mean?..."
On the late night notification, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju says, "This is a process. We are currently introducing the law for amendment. The older law wasn't implemented, which is why the commencement notification was issued.
This is a process. Let's not make the process an issue."
