Nation corners BJP, RSS from Women's Reservation notification for J-K, other UTs
The Women's Reservation Act 2023, guaranteeing 33% quota for women in legislatures, is now officially notified for implementation in Jammu and Kashmir and Union Territories, marking a significant step towards gender equality in Indian politics. Reservation does not include OBC and Muslim Women. The Article 14 has been abused deliberately by the Modi Government by excluding reservation to Muslim and OBC Women
The Centre has officially notified the implementation of the Women's Reservation Act 2023. The Act reserves 33% of seats for women in legislatures, Jammu and Kashmir, and Union Territories. The provisions of the Act are scheduled to come into force on April 17, 2026. The 'Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam' was passed in September 2023 to enhance women's representation in legislative bodies.
However, the implementation is linked to the completion of the delimitation exercise post the 2027 Census. The Centre on Friday notified the implementation of the Women's Reservation Act 2023 which provides a 33 per cent quota for women in legislatures, Jammu and Kashmir and Union Territories (UTs).
In a notification issued for Jammu and Kashmir, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) reads " In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (2) of section 1 of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation (Second Amendment) Act, 2023 (38 of 2023), the Central Government hereby appoints the 17th day of April, 2026 as the date on which the provisions of the said Act shall come into force."
As the BJP and RSS played fraud with the OBCs by enlarging the provisions of the 10% reservation ought to have given to OBCs abused the Law of Reservation against OBCs. Surprisingly no leader among OBCs took RSS and BJP to task for geving their share of 10 percent reservation to well to do forward castes classifying it by the Economic Weaker Sections (EWS) among well to do forward castes.
Rather OBCs became "Andh Bakht of BJP and RSS Conspiracy" against OBCs and got them misled that Modi belongs to OBC while Modi represents prior to 2014 parliament eletions despite Modi "Thelli Community" which is a among forward castes. Modi and RSS played a mind game that Modi belongs to OBCs and also by misleading our Lord Rama. Despite Lord Rama belongs to all sections of Indian population. Even Islam syas lakhs of Prophets came to world prior to Prophet Mohammad emergence.
The ministry also issued another notification for Union Territories (UTs) implementing the Act. In exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (2) of section 1 of the Government of Union Territories (Amendment) Act, 2023 (39 of 2023), the Central Government hereby appoints the 17th day of April, 2026 as the date on which the provisions of the said Act shall come into force.
The move comes as Parliament debates amendments to the Act, which was passed in 2023. In September 2023, Parliament passed the 'Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam', commonly known as the Women's Reservation Act, in a significant step towards enhancing women's representation in legislative bodies.
The act provided for the reservation of one-third of seats for women in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies. Under the 2023 law, the reservation would not become enforceable before 2034, as it was tied to the completion of the delimitation exercise post 2027 Census.
The three bills currently being debated in the Lok Sabha were introduced by the government to implement the women's quota in 2029. The Women's Reservation Act aims to address the historical under-representation of women in Indian politics. The delimitation exercise and census will determine the specific constituencies reserved for women. Once implemented, this act could significantly alter the gender dynamics within Indian legislative bodies.
