NEW DELHI: Union home minister Amit Shah on Friday addressed the Lok Sabha on the women’s reservation bill, accusing the Congress-led opposition of backing the legislation but with “ifs and buts.”He also described the opposition’s objection to delimitation as opposing an increase in SC/ST seats.Here are Amit Shah’s top quotes:
- “No one has objected to the women’s reservation. But, if we see closely, all members of the INDI alliance have opposed it by using ‘ifs and but’.”
- “Opposing delimitation means opposing increase in SC/ST seats.”
- “Nearly 133 members spoke in the House on this important constitution amendment bill, out of which 56 members were women, which will prove to be a record in itself.”
