The government is unlikely to immediately bring a bill to increase Lok Sabha seats to 816 so that 273 of them could be reserved for women in the ongoing Parliament session, which may be adjourned early but will not be prorogued to keep open the option of reconvening after the upcoming round of assembly elections, according to sources.
The sources indicated that there is very little chance of the government tabling the constitution amendment bill that will tweak the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, commonly known as the women’s reservation law, in Parliament in the next few days.
It is learnt that there was no proposal till Tuesday evening to bring the draft bill before the Union Cabinet, which is scheduled to meet on Wednesday.
“There are requirements of seeking further deliberations with all political parties before finalising a schedule for amending the women’s reservation law,” a source privy to the development said.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah had on Monday discussed the matter
