DMK MP Moves Bill to Implement Women’s Reservation Without Linking It to Delimitation

DMK Rajya Sabha MP P. Wilson introduced a private member’s Constitution Amendment Bill seeking immediate implementation of women’s reservation in Parliament and State Assemblies without linking it to delimitation or a future census.

The proposal aims to operationalise the quota within the existing strength of legislatures, avoiding delays caused by pending delimitation exercises.

It also reflects concerns that tying reservation to delimitation could postpone its implementation.

The Bill will now follow the parliamentary process, though private member bills rarely get passed without government support.
