Opposition members in the Lok Sabha on Friday (April 17, 2026) questioned the government’s move to move a Bill to amend the 2023 women’s reservation law before bringing the principal Act into force.
Soon after laying of parliamentary papers, K.C. Venugopal rose to point out a law ministry notification issued last night around 10 p.m. to bring into force the 2023 women’s reservation law with effect from April 16, much after a Bill to amend the Act was introduced and discussed in the House.
