It will be a dream come true for women to be partners in framing laws,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The remarks come in the backdrop of the Centre\u2019s plan to implement the law enacted in 2023, which provides 33 per cent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. The Prime Minister recently stated that the Budget session of Parliament has been extended to facilitate steps towards its implementation.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports, Parliament is set to reconvene on April 16 after a brief recess to consider key measures, including increasing the number of Lok Sabha seats, aimed at enabling the rollout of the reservation policy.<\/p>\n<p>Andrabi said the move reflects the government\u2019s commitment to women empowerment, adding that what could not be achieved in decades has been made possible in recent years. She expressed confidence that the number of women lawmakers will significantly rise in Parliament and state assemblies.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the political landscape in Jammu and Kashmir, Andrabi said the Bharatiya Janata Party has emerged as a stronger force in the Union Territory and will continue to grow further.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, BJP spokesperson Altaf Thakur said the party remains guided by principles of nationalism, democracy, Gandhian socialism and value-based politics. He added that efforts are ongoing to boost industries, generate employment and strengthen the country\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>Thakur also congratulated party workers and urged them to remain committed to public welfare and the vision of a stronger, inclusive and self-reliant India.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36214\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36214\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-36214\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gh08RD18-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"Women\u2019s Reservation Act a \u2018Dream Come True\u2019 for Women: Darakshan Andrabi\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gh08RD18-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gh08RD18-549x366.jpeg 549w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gh08RD18-420x280.jpeg 420w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gh08RD18-233x155.jpeg 233w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gh08RD18-230x153.jpeg 230w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gh08RD18-360x240.jpeg 360w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gh08RD18-100x67.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Gh08RD18.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36214\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Women\u2019s Reservation Act a \u2018Dream Come True\u2019 for Women: Darakshan Andrabi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SRINAGAR: BJP leader and J&amp;K Waqf Board chairperson Darakshan Andrabi on Monday termed the passage and implementation of the Women\u2019s Reservation Act amendments as an inspiring step, saying it would be a \u201cdream come true\u201d for women across the country.
