‘Political demonetisation’: Shashi Tharoor warns against linking women’s reservation to delimitation
- On Friday, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor criticized the Government in the Lok Sabha, warning that linking the Women's Reservation Bill to Delimitation could prove to be "political demonetisation."
- The Government tethered the Women's Reservation Bill to Parliament expansion and Delimitation, which The Prime Minister described as a gift of justice while Tharoor characterized as wrapping reform in Barbed Wire.
- Tharoor argued that population-based seat allocation risks creating a "tyranny of the demographic majority," potentially allowing a few large states to determine the fate of the entire Indian nation.
- Linking these reforms holds the aspirations of Indian women hostage to "one of the most contentious and complex" administrative exercises, Tharoor claimed, potentially delaying long-awaited progress.
- Comparing the Government's haste to past demonetisation, Tharoor urged officials to enact the Reservation Bill immediately based on existing Parliament strength, arguing the rushed approach had harmed the country.
