00:00 Women Reservation Bill was passed by the Parliament by the Women MPs.
00:04 The MPs of the ruling party have expressed their gratitude.
00:07 The opposition MPs have said that the bill is not good enough to be passed by the Muslim quota.
00:12 They have doubts about the bill.
00:15 The population is over 50%.
00:19 In the Parliament, the other backward classes are only 22%.
00:22 We had also put an amendment for Muslim women.
00:27 Only 4% of the population are Muslim women.
00:30 So, there should be representation of Muslim women.
00:32 The purpose of the bill is to give them a chance in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies.
00:38 If there is no representation of Muslim women, then how will it work?
00:40 I think that the women who have waited till now,
00:44 have been successful.
00:46 And the credit goes to Modi ji.
00:48 Our Sikander is Modi ji for the women of this country.
00:51 Today, he won.
00:52 He won the women's election with a lot of luck.
00:57 And he passed the bill.
00:58 All the women had this confidence.
01:01 If he passes the bill, it will be passed.
01:03 And the majority of the women have passed the bill.
01:06 I thank Modi ji from the bottom of my heart.
01:09 I have thanked him in the Parliament and here as well.
01:12 I am extremely grateful to the honourable Prime Minister
01:16 for not only helping in creating history,
01:19 but a solution that women in our country were waiting for decades.
01:22 What a better way to begin parliamentary innings for any parliamentarian
01:27 than with the passage of a bill that scores of women were waiting for.
01:33 It is yet to pass in the Rajya Sabha, I know.
01:36 But as a Lok Sabha member, I am extremely privileged to have not only viewed history,
01:41 but also participate in the same.
01:43 I today fondly recall the contributions of Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji,
01:48 Sushma Swaraj ji, Sumitra Mahajan ji, Bal Apte ji.
01:53 And I am extremely grateful.
01:55 How is India changing through democracy?
01:58 When the government's intentions and policies are clear,
02:02 and an influential leader like Narendra Modi is there, then this work is done.
02:05 It was pending since the 1920s.
02:07 So the daughter of India flies the Air Force plane,
02:10 works in TV, becomes a commission officer in the army,
02:13 a permanent commission, then moves ahead in sports.
02:16 Now she will move the country forward as an MP and MLA.
02:21 We had an opportunity to make history.
02:25 But I would still say that all political parties have contributed to this.
02:29 We thank them.
02:31 We thank them.
02:32 And I hope that this will be unanimously passed in the Rajya Sabha,
02:38 and we can make history.
