Kangana Ranaut Defends Government's Move to Amend Women's Reservation Law

BJP MP Kangana Ranaut attacked the Congress for questioning the government's intention behind introducing a bill to amend the women's reservation law, and wondered why the opposition party kept the matter hanging for three decades when it was in power. Participating in a debate in the Lok Sabha, the actor-politician said, "Sonia Gandhi says why are they (BJP) in a hurry to bring the bill. Should we be like you and let it hang for 30 years?" Ranaut also said she feels that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is hurrying to deliver justice for women. "What didn't happen in 60 years, he achieved in 10, be it pucca houses, providing gas cylinders, or inducting women into defence forces. One thing is certain: he is in a hurry to give justice to women."
