He was responding to a letter by Gandhi to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring the bill on granting 33 percent reservation to women in Lok Sabha and state assemblies.
Prasad wrote to Gandhi as his ministry deals with the issue of reservation in legislatures and personal laws. The Winter session of Parliament begins tomorrow. Gandhi had yesterday written to Modi asking him to ensure the passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill in the Monsoon Session of Parliament, starting July 18.
In his letter, Gandhi offered his party’s unconditional support to the bill and said the time has come for a change, and for women to take their rightful place in state legislatures and Parliament.
