Can't delay justice: Rijiju to Kharge on women's quota law

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Sunday told Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge that delaying implementation of the Women's Reservation Act is nothing but delaying justice to millions of women and asked the principal opposition party to rise above politics and come forward to support its implementation in 2029 for 'nari shakti'. In response to Kharge's letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in which the Congress chief accused the government of hurrying the implementation of the women's reservation law for "political mileage", the Parliamentary Affairs Minister said it is not about politics but about "keeping our promise" to the daughters of India.
Rijiju said the 'Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam' was the result of a long-cherished national aspiration and a genuinely joint effort across the political spectrum. "It reflected the collective promise to the women across the country," he said in a letter to Kharge. “Promises to India’s women cannot become politics of postponement. When it is time to deliver the Women’s Reservation Act, hesitation and questions are being raised. I respectfully differ,” Rijiju said on X, adding he has written to Kharge, placing the facts on record and reiterating the urgency of moving forward.
The Budget Session of Parliament has been extended, and a special three-day sitting of the House has been convened from April 16 to 18, during which amendments to the ‘Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam’, more commonly known as the Women Reservation Act, will be brought for its implementation in 2029. 
However, Kharge has in a letter to prime minister said it would be “impossible” to have any useful discussion on the women’s quota law without details of delimitation and other aspects, and demanded that an all-party meeting be called on the matter after the current round of state polls gets over on April 29.
