00:00When this government wanted to protect cows and I support the move make no mistake
00:04You did not wait to count the number of cows
00:07You did not wait to see whether the cow was a jersey or a gear or a Sahiwal
00:12You just went and built the cow shelters
00:14Are we women any less that we have to wait while you count numbers and you draw lines?
00:20Honorable Prime Minister, this is your moment to really show us all
00:24Ki Modi hai toh mumkin hai
00:30At
00:38The very onset
00:40Let us remind ourselves that this is India a country with the point heavy as me in
00:451940 81 years ago 82 years ago
00:49Before independence wrote in his poem or at what Mary John?
00:53Maryside he turned I had to say
00:55Jonathan or hair
00:58Joe mark a palo man. He was key Azad Ravish Parvati machana. I had to say one key to fun
01:04Chalak, nah, hey, oh, but now I had to say what Mary John Maryside he turned I had to say
01:10This is an India where Tagore in 1928 wrote in his poem Shabala
01:15Nadia upon bhaggo joy Kodhi bar can only be the car heavy data
01:19This is an India where in 1946 when the Constituent Assembly was elected
01:2515 seats went to women who had to draft the Constitution
01:28Both the United States and the United Kingdom saw lengthy suffragette movements before women were granted the right to vote
01:35India's founders in
01:371947 apron agreed to the principle of universal adult suffrage giving
01:41Simultaneously the right to vote to women and to men there was never any question of denying women the right to vote while giving
01:48It to men. It is my pride that I belong to the all-india funeral Congress a party that sends 37% women
01:55Among its members to Parliament
01:57It is my chagrin that I belong to a Lok Sabha a house of the people that on aggregate has only
02:0415% of its members as women far below the global average of twenty six and a half percent and
02:10Also below the Asian regional average of twenty one percent, but wait, what does this bill really say?
02:16Article 334 of the bill says the reservation shall come into effect only after
02:23delimitation has been undertaken
02:25Delimitation will only be undertaken after the relevant figures for the next census have been published
02:29It means we don't know if and actually when we will actually have
02:3633% of women sitting in the Lok Sabha. Can there be a greater Jumla forget?
02:412024 this may not even be possible in 2029 to the government and the ruling party
02:46I say this give us this day our equal rights
02:50We hold up half the sky give us at least a third of our earth
02:56Mamata Banerjee and the Trinamool Congress have already
02:59Walked the talk. We don't need to go on record to show this country that we support this bill
03:05We have already sent more MPs than what this bill even envisions
03:09It is you this government this ruling dispensation that needs to go on record
03:14You need to support us not the other way around you need to send more than 33% MPs to this Parliament
03:21When this government wanted to protect cows and I support the move make no mistake
03:26You did not wait to count the number of cows
03:29You did not wait to see whether the cow was a jersey or a beard or a Sahiwal
03:33You just went in with the cow shelters
03:35Are we women any less that we have to wait while you count numbers and you draw lines?
03:42Honorable Prime Minister. This is your moment to really show us all
03:46Kim Odi had to move in hand in conclusion. I can only echo the poet Rihanna Ruhi's words
03:53Dil ke bhelane ka samaan na samjhag jaye, humko ab itna bhi aasaan na samjhag jaye
04:00Hum bhi logon ki tarah jeene ka haq maangte hai, isko bagawat ka ailaan na samjhag jaye
