A day after the Modi government cleared the Women's Reservation Bill proposing 33% quota for women in Parliament and state legislatures, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi expressed pride and ownership calling it "ours". Entering Parliament on Tuesday, Gandhi remarked "It is ours, apna hai" about the landmark bill. The Congress welcomed the move, asserting on social media platform X that it has long demanded the bill's passage. Gandhi's reaction highlights the Congress' advocacy for the bill enabling greater representation of women in India's legislative bodies. Her simple yet powerful statement "It is ours" conveys a sense of fulfillment and vindication of the party's efforts on an issue of gender equality and women's empowerment.
