Bharatiya
Janata Party general secretary and MP Narendra Singh Tomar while addressing the
6th Conference of the Association of SAARC Speakers and Parliamentarians
(CASSP) in Islamabad on Tuesday said, “The dynamic democracy of India in order
to provide representation to all classes and sections of the society wrote new
chapter of women empowerment by providing 33 per cent reservation to fairer sex
in the parliament.”
The BJP in a
statement on Tuesday informed that Tomar further said that only the parliament
has provided reservation to the fairer sex but 14 States of the country moved a step ahead of
this by providing 50 per cent reservation to the fairer sex in panchayat to
ensure equal representation to women.
He said that
by parliamentary amendment number 73 and 74 was implemented enabling women,
Dalits and backward classes to ensure that these classes could get opportunity
to participate in the development procedure of the country. Proposal of
providing one third reservation to the women in the Panchayats and urban
bodies, he added.
He said that
transparency is the soul of democracy and the Right To Information (RTI) act in
India has paved for bringing in purity in the democracy. The Indian democracy has simplified norms to
ensure inclusive representation in the system. There is no discrimination on
the basis of religion, race and gender. Youth have been made part of the
political system, bringing down the age limit of voting rights from 21 years to
18 years of age is an important step in this direction, he added.
The BJP
parliamentarian said that in order to make daughters’ birth a blessing and
bounty the experiment of a scheme like Ladli Lakshmi Yojna is providing
historical success. The scheme launched by the Madhya Pradesh government is now
followed by many other states creating a new history of human dignity, he
added.
