Women's reservation bill- Do u support?

friends, im opening a topic today about an issue that is hogging the national headlines for some time now. its the highly contentious and debated issue of 33% reservation for women in the Parliament seats....some backed it saying that the move would empower the fairer sex and grant them more reprsentation in national politics and help them be a part of the policymaking operations in the country....while others opposed it saying that it was unfair to grant quota on the basis of Gender..

but why through reservation?? can they not use their merits as their leadership basis?😕

NOPE.........I do not support reservation of any kind.........for anybody except maybe for the handicapped..............a woman who needs reservation to get into the parliament won't be a fighter..........we need someone who gets into the parliament..........to fight for the people....to fight for the right cause.........not someone who will need the crutches of reservation..........those who can make it ....make it without reservation.........

Reservation for women will just become another PAWN in the hands of the corrupt politicians..........who wants that.......not me atleast....

all the women leaders we have had until now...they came of their own merit and not reservation.

im dead against this move, dunno why many support it.😕

Indian society always for empowerment of woman..I dont think common people against this bill..Mulayam, and Lalu are part of the problem. Becos of whom people of UP and Bihar are suffering. Even after 60 years, we still keep talk about caste. What they have given to Dalits, OBC, and Monorities.. Atleast Nitish did excellent job. Lalu and Mulayam are no not relevant now...But its also true that there are many laws are there to save our women , impliment them first,Act first..thats importent..

but still.......i dont think that a Bill can empower women solely...rather it would mean more pawns in the hands of corrupt politicians like blue-ice said....
