Addressing a public meeting in Cooch Behar, Mr. Modi said it is necessary to increase the role of women in decision-making for the country. “Therefore, the government has scheduled a special session of Parliament on April 16, 17, and 18. This right of our mothers and sisters has been pending for 40 years. Our government has enacted a law to provide 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies,” he said.
