Women's Reservation Bill be passed during special session of Parliament, demands Congress

Congress demanded that the Women's Reservation Bill be passed during the special session of parliament, a resolution undertaken at the Congress Working Committee (CWC) stated.

In a resolution adopted at its first meeting after being reconstituted, the Congress Working Committee (CWC) alleged that parliamentary debate and scrutiny have all



but disappeared and far-reaching legislation is hurriedly pushed through without proper scrutiny and discussion.

"The Chief Election Commissioner and Other Election Commissioners (Appointment etc) Bill introduced in Parliament will severely compromise the independence of the Election Commission to conduct free and fair elections," it said.
