CHANDIGARH: Prof. Laxmi Kanta Chawla, Health and Family Welfare Minister Punjab advised Mamta Banerjee and Mayawati to quit politics immediately because the historic Women’s Reservation Bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha in spite of their opposition.
They have no moral right to contest any election. At least women should be strong enough in showing them the door, urged the Minister. Strongly condemning the role of these two women politicians, the Minister said that they should not be forgiven for harming the interest of the Nation in particular and women in general. Terming both these leaders as “Opportunists”, Prof. Chawla said that for having remained in politics for so many years and enjoying full power, they never wanted to share their piece of power with other women. She has urged women of the nation to beware of the nefarious designs of such women who were constantly harming the interests of women for their own vested interests. This shows their mind set towards their own gender.
While congratulating the members of the Upper House for having passed the historic Women’s Reservation Bill fourteen years after it was envisaged. Although the Central government was under tremendous pressure to give the rightful dues to women which should have been given much early now they have been compelled to give the dues to women the dues to women seeking the help of the “Reservation Bill”. It was unfortunate and rather shameful that after attaining freedom more than 60 years back, the rights of women and their status remained the same. The Male-dominated society has not given adequate respect, honor and dignity to women. They were being considered as a burden on the family and were also being eliminated right in the womb.
Prof. Chawla hoped that it was a step forward to give a better place to women in the society where they have a louder voice in making laws for the nation. This would change the face of our Secular Polity and uphold the highest Parliamentary traditions, she added.
