Law Minister M Veerappa Moily expressed confidence that the Women's Reservation Bill will be passed in the current session of Parliament itself. He also denied suggestions that the Bill was rushed in the Rajya Sabha.
Pawar to Yadavs: Women Reservation Bill can be amendedThe women's reservation bill moved in the Rajya Sabha on Monday that seeks to reserve 33 per cent seats for women in the country's legislatures has a chequered history.
Now that the Women's reservation bill has been passed in Rajya Sabha after high political drama, its next destination is Lok Sabha. However, it will not be easy for the government to pass the bill here. So what can happen next?
For the bill to become a law, at least 15 of India's 29 state assemblies need to clear it by a two-thirds majority. That appears to be fairly plausible.
