JAMMU: Devender Singh Rana, a senior member of the BJP, today praised the nearly unanimous passage of the Women Reservation Bill in both Houses of Parliament and praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for taking the bold initiative to bring about what was otherwise just a political slogan. Devender Rana, along with BJP State Secretary Smt. Veenu Khanna, announced during a weekly public hearing at the BJP headquarters that Nari Shakti will receive new wings on the new Parliament House's inaugural day, which falls on Ganesh Chathurthi. He asserted that the Prime Minister's unwavering and unselfish leadership, which always stood for the interests of the country, was demonstrated by the passion with which the entire nation supported him across political lines. He claimed that the law will enable fair representation of women in the Lok Sabha and other national legislative assemblies, as well as more engagement from them in the decision-making process.
