Educationists, Delhi BJP chief slam opposition over Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam defeat, say people will not forgive

New Delhi, Apr 20 (UNI) Two educationists including Rama Sharma and Ruby Mishra, voicing their support for the Nari Shakti Vandan Act along with Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva, on Monday condemned what they alleged was the malicious attitude of opposition parties towards the Bill, stating that people will not forgive these parties after what happened in Parliament on April 17.
Addressing a press conference here, Virendra Sachdeva said that opposition parties like Congress, Samajwadi Party, and AAP have attempted to block the Nari Shakti Vandan Act and now will also face opposition from the women within their own parties.
Speaking on the occasion, Ms Sharma said that given the pace at which women are progressing, 50 per cent reservation is their rightful claim, but if the opposition is not ready even for 33 per cent, how will it ever agree to 50 per cent, she questioned.
