India's Parliament Divided Over Women's Quota Law and Delimitation Process
Opposition parties clashed with the BJP in the Lok Sabha over proposed amendments to the women's reservation law, with critics questioning how amendments can be moved before the principal Act is even notified. The Trinamool Congress warned that the women's quota is a disguise to alter the electoral process through delimitation, with TMC MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar calling the proposed delimitation commission potentially 'authoritarian'. Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu BJP chief Nainar Nagendran defended the delimitation exercise while accusing DMK's M.K. Stalin of opposing everything and prioritising family interests.
