Calling Akhilesh ‘friend’
During the House proceedings, SP MP Dharmendra Yadav tried to speak in between, forcing PM Modi to pause for a few seconds. However, the Prime Minister handled the situation with great ease and calmness. Smiling lightly he said, “I am grateful to you; you have helped in introducing me to the House.” He then mentioned his social background, and said that he came from an ‘extremely backward class’. In the middle of his speech, he lightened the atmosphere by mentioning Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav. Smiling, he said that Akhilesh is his “friend” and sometimes helps him. Hearing this, a wave of laughter ran in the entire House, and Akhilesh Yadav also smiled.
Don’t look at it from political point of view
PM Modi appealed to the MPs not to view this occasion from a narrow perspective of politics. He stressed that this is not just a legislative bill, but a joint effort to make the country’s governance more sensitive and balanced. He further said that the vision of a “developed India” does not just include roads and infrastructure; Rather, it also includes ensuring that every section of the society gets equal share and opportunities.
It is unfair to oppose the Women’s Reservation Bill
During his address in the Lok Sabha, PM Modi declared that the Women’s Reservation Bill is a collective responsibility of all of us. He warned that those who choose to oppose the bill will have to pay a heavy price for their stance in the long run. He reiterated the historical lesson that whoever has opposed women’s empowerment has ultimately had to suffer its consequences.
