Bollywood actresses Kangana Ranaut, Esha Gupta, and Bigg Boss famous YouTuber Sapna Choudhary were invited to the new parliament building in Delhi on 18th September 2023. Several women sportspersons and artists from the fields of cinema, fashion, dance, and music visited the new Parliament building that day to introduce the women’s reservation bill. Padma Shree awardee dancers Nalini and Kamlini and vocalist Padma Shree Sumitra Guha also were there.
RESERVATION BILL
The bill that seeks to provide 33 percent reservation for women in Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies was introduced in Lok Sabha on Tuesday. The bill is officially called ‘Narishakti Vandan Adhiniyam’.
Kangana praised the day for the women of this country, “The BJP could have brought any other bill today, but they chose women empowerment. This shows their thinking. I think the country is in able hands…The government could have discussed any other issue or passed any other bill in Parliament, but they chose to prioritize women’s empowerment. I believe this is a very big statement,” Kangana said, hailing the leadership of Prime Minister Modi.
Esha Gupta said, “It is a very progressive thought. This reservation bill will give equal powers to women and it is a big step for our country. PM Modi promised it and delivered it. The bill being tabled on the first day of the new Parliament highlights the commitment to progress. It’s crucial to listen to the voices of women. This bill will empower women, and PM Modi has been advocating various initiatives for women, including ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’,” she said.
Fashion designer Rina Dhaka said, “It is a big victory for the women of the country. There was a very marginal representation of women although they formed an equal part of our country and society.”
Arjuna Award winner Neha Rathi said, “Now more women will come into politics and women will occupy all positions”.
Wrestler Geetika Jakhar said every woman has to feel happy about, and to be proud. “We have witnessed the occasion when this bill was introduced.”
Actor Sulakhyana Barua said “Women will get strength through this bill,” she said, adding there is diversity in the country.
Sapna took to social media and posted several pictures from her visit. She wrote, “It was the right time, this was the only time. Had the privilege of visiting India’s new parliament on the first day and @narendramodi Govt of India raised India’s head for women empowerment by bringing a 33% reservation bill for women in parliament and assemblies. Welcoming this historic decision, I heartily thank respected Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji on behalf of all mothers and sisters.”
