Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi has called for the immediate enactment of the women's reservation bill in India's Lok Sabha, expressing her party's support for the legislation. She emphasized the importance of implementing the bill without further delay and also advocated for the inclusion of reservations for SC, ST, and OBC women, along with conducting a caste census. Sonia Gandhi highlighted the contributions of prominent Indian women in the independence movement and called for honoring their legacy through this legislation. The Union Cabinet has recently approved a Constitution amendment bill to provide women's reservation in national and state legislatures, a long-standing demand in India.
