Following the reported developments around the Women’s Reservation Bill, a major opposition meeting was held at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s office in Parliament. The meeting brought together several prominent leaders from different opposition parties, including Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, TMC leader Derek O’Brien, NCP MP Supriya Sule, and leaders from Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray faction) such as Sanjay Raut. The primary focus of the meeting was to discuss the political situation following the alleged setback of the Women’s Reservation Bill in Parliament. Opposition leaders reportedly deliberated on their future strategy, including how to counter the ruling NDA’s narrative that portrays the opposition as being against women’s empowerment. According to reports, the discussion also centered on shaping a coordinated opposition response and preparing for a broader political campaign. Leaders are said to be considering outreach efforts and possible ground-level mobilization to present their stance on the bill more effectively. Overall, the meeting reflects ongoing political tensions between the ruling alliance and opposition parties, with both sides attempting to shape public perception around the Women’s Reservation Bill and its legislative outcome.
