NEW DELHI: Congress leader Shashi Tharoor<\/a> on Thursday criticised the government for linking women\u2019s reservation with delimitation, saying the law should be implemented immediately instead of being tied to the delimitation process. He also called for a detailed and wider discussion rather than rushing it through in a short time.Speaking to reporters outside the Parliament House complex, Tharoor said the Opposition fully supports women\u2019s reservation but questioned the need to link it with delimitation. <\/p>\n

Women\u2019s Reservation Bill Explained: Why It\u2019s Back And What Changes Before 2029 Elections<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“I just want to say that we don’t have any problem with women’s reservation, they (the government) can do it immediately, but why delimitation is being included, this is our question, because there are many issues related to delimitation, a long discussion is required, but they want to wind up in 2-3 days, this is not possible,” he said.He stressed that the government could go ahead with the reservation immediately if it is separated from delimitation.“If the government wants this women reservation, they could have done it in 2023, they should do it now, we will support — no delimitation, just women’s reservation bill,” Tharoor said.The remarks came after the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill to amend the women\u2019s quota law was introduced in the Lok Sabha following a division of votes. Alongside it, two ordinary bills \u2014 the Delimitation Bill and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill \u2014 were also introduced to implement the proposed amended women\u2019s quota law in the Union territories of Delhi, Puducherry and Jammu and Kashmir.The Thiruvananthapuram MP also pointed to concerns raised by southern states and called the process \u201cpolitical demonetisation.\u201d“The manner in which you are doing delimitation — the way you did demonetisation without thinking. We don’t want this political demonetisation. There should be a big debate; what should be the formula, only population cannot be the basis. Speak with south, northeast, small states,” he said.He reiterated that delimitation requires detailed discussion, even as he backed immediate implementation of women\u2019s reservation.“A detailed discussion is required on delimitation but right now, there should be immediate implementation of women’s reservation. We will support it immediately,” he said.<\/div>\n
