Mumbai Actress Priyanka Chopra praised the passing of the Women’s Reservation Bill and said that it should be implemented rapidly.

This statement of Priyanka has come amid the opposition Congress’s demand for immediate implementation of the bill.

The Women’s Reservation Bill was passed unanimously in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday, a day after it was passed in the Lok Sabha during a special session of Parliament.

Now 33 percent reservation for women in the lower house and state assemblies will become law and will be implemented after census and delimitation.

Priyanka wrote on Instagram Stories, “This historic milestone is inspiring a new era. The passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill ‘Nari Shakti Vandan Act’ is indeed a step in the right direction, but the important next step is its rapid implementation. This is an India that truly supports and empowers women.

Congress leader and MP Rahul Gandhi, while demanding implementation of the bill, had said, “Women’s reservation is an important step in the empowerment of women of India, but when we read the specifics, we found that it will be done after delimitation and census. “This means that this bill will come into force a decade from now.”
