Women Reservation Bill – Sharad Yadav threated to consume poision

indian-womenWhy some politicians are so opposed to Reservation Bill. has threated to consume poision if the bill is passed that too in the Parliament House. I am just trying to imaging what that scene could be like – it will be another first time in the parliamentary history that an MP attempted to do suicide.

Sharad Yadav said - “We may not have the numbers but I will consume poison and die here but not allow the passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill … Congress party has been resorting to tokenism by appointing a woman as President and as Speaker”

Now the real question – why he is opposing the bill? May be in a male chauvenistic society he is brought up he can not see a women in the position of power. The congress has already worked out a plan for quota in quota and have taken care of women from the backward classes.

May be congress is resorting to tokenism or symbolism by appointing women as President, Speaker – these women are worthy enough to be in that post.

May be Yadavji’s thinks that his votebank – the male dominated society in rural Bihar will not accept this. But this country has accepted women in power right from the times of Smt Indira Gandhi.

We are of the opinion that politicians should leave behind their petty agendas and pass this bill. By voting congress to power the public has already given its mandate for the bill. Sharad yadav is no-one to defy the public mandate of the whole country just for few people he represents.

Why to surprise now??? We are continously saying to stop such think to SC, but they always said, they can’t interfare in law and policey of parlament , let the same is against injustice against lacks of common people.
There is a wrod , when your next home is burning and if you do not wake up , it your turn your home will be under FIRE. The same think happeneing. One hand you want to promote the reservations in the name of caste, religion, women in corporate, instituion, where all ready women have equll representaion and think parlament and Judicery should be kept aside, very intersting.
Inspite of artilce 14 and article 20 and 21, our politician misused the artilce 15 several time in the name of special provision to women and weeker sex , but Supreme court silently observed the same and this leads to encourage more and more greed for politician for thier vote bank politics.
Yes, you can give any speicl porvision to weeker section, but that does not mean injustice to other sections, that is indian consituion.
Either we had been fool and idiot , that we can’t understand waht is writtne in indian constituion or too smart to justify others home burning , with a thinking my home will not be under fire.
When in a country if Judicery is silent against injustice to common people and politicain have whole sale free lincece to misue the provision provied for thier vested interest, only god can save them.
Now the question, will SC wake up or still prefer to enjoy the misuse of Indian constution article 15 in the name of vested interest and promote the dishormeny among the people in the name of sex( men vs women) , caste ( low vs high), religions….
I am not so big guy , but read the constituion and understand in 30 days, our politician misusing the contian constituion for thier bested interest, but unable to understand , why the same our SC judges can’t??
May be my blood color is different than them or i can’t write good english, as i am not a English fathers son.
If USA or other country procressed , that is because thier judicery and never allowed the politican to take over the country’s common people’s interst as granted.
Stop misuse of Indian Constituion article 15 for vote bank politics , if not be ready to pay the price.
