Prime Minister Narendra Modi has written to the floor leaders of all political parties in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, calling for their support in the implementation of the Women’s Reservation Act, officially known as the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam.

“From the 16th of April, a historic discussion related to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam is set to take place in Parliament. This special sitting is an opportunity to further strengthen our democracy. It is also a moment to reiterate our collective commitment to moving forward together, taking everyone along. I am writing this letter to you with this spirit and purpose,” the letter read. 

“After extensive deliberations, we have reached the conclusion that the time has now come to implement the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam in its true spirit across the country. It is imperative that the 2029 Lok Sabha elections and Assembly elections are conducted with women's reservation in place. This will infuse new energy into India's democratic institutions and strengthen public trust. It will also ensure greater participation and representation in governance,” PM Modi wrote.
