Buzz over special Parliament session, tussle over women’s reservation and delimitation, Kharge’s letter to the PM

The country’s political atmosphere has heated up once again amidst speculation about a special session of Parliament being convened. The Modi government appears to be actively moving towards implementing the ‘Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam’—the women’s reservation law. Statements from Union Ministers Kiren Rijiju and Arjun Ram Meghwal suggest that the government could take a major step regarding women’s reservation before the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Meanwhile, the opposition has also opened a front on the issue of delimitation; Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding that an all-party meeting be convened.
