Delhi/Hyderabad, Sept 20 (Hydnow): Reacting on the Women’s Reservation Bill tabled in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, AIMIM President and Hyderabad MP, Asaduddin Owaisi said if it becomes law then the political representation of Muslims will further come down.
While emphasizing that the party was never against women’s empowerment even during the time of the Manmohan Singh government in 1996 the party did not oppose it, he felt that proper representation of OBC and Muslim women should be provided. “We have never been against women empowerment. However, if a law is being made, it is important that OBC and Muslim women get a share in that quota. When the prime Minister is OBC, why is the government not able to offer proper representation in this?” he asked.
While referring to the share of political representation of Muslims historically, Asaduddin Owaisi said there was a deficit of 52 percent in Parliament. “Till now 17 Lok Sabha elections were held and 8,992 MPs were elections, Muslims had a meager share of 520. this is a 52 percent deficit when compared to the proportion of the population. A total of 1,070 should have won, when it comes to women from the community, they are only a handful. If this becomes a law, the representation of Muslims will further come down, he added. (Hydnow)
