Rajya Sabha Passes Women's Reservation Bill
After unprecedented disruptions and bedlam, the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday evening finally passed the historic women's reservation bill reserving one-third seats for women in parliament and state legislatures.
The Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the Left Front voted for the bill. The two MPs of the Trinamool Congress, the government’s second biggest ally, abstained from voting.
BJP leader Arun Jaitley, Communist Party of India-Marxist's (CPI-M) Brinda Karat, Bahujan Samaj Party's (BSP) Satish Mishra and Jayanthi Natarajan of Congress took part in the debate for the bill.
Earlier, seven opposition members, who suspended for their unruly behaviour, were physically evicted from the Rajya Sabha after they continued to squat on the floor for more than three hours.
