Union Minister Kiren Rijiju welcomed the Shiromani Akali Dal's revised stance on women's reservation. The party now supports immediate passage of the women's reservation and delimitation bills. This development follows a meeting between SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The government seeks to implement 33 percent women's reservation in legislatures by 2029. This move aims for fair and equitable delimitation ensuring equal representation for all states.
