Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has conveyed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that it would be “impossible” to have any useful discussion on the women’s quota law without details of delimitation and other aspects, and demanded that an all-party meeting be called on the matter after the first round of state polls.

In his letter to PM Modi, Kharge said that calling Parliament’s special sitting amid state polls reinforces the belief that the government is hurrying the implementation of women’s reservation law for “political mileage”. Kharge’s letter came in response to a missives from the PM on the special sitting of Parliament for a discussion on the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam.
