Deoria,

April 26 (HS): Uttar Pradesh Minister of

State for Transport (Independent Charge) Dayashankar Singh said on Sunday that

by opposing the Women's Reservation Bill in the Lok Sabha, the entire

opposition, including the Congress, had insulted Indian women. He expressed deep

concern over the bill's failure to pass, calling it unfortunate.

State

Transport Minister Dayashankar Singh held a press conference on Sunday in the

auditorium of Vikas Bhawan in Deoria district. He stated that this is not

merely a legislative process issue, but an important topic related to women's

rights and participation. The Minister stated unequivocally that the Modi-Yogi

government is committed to women's empowerment and is making every possible

effort in this direction. The Transport Minister further stated that the bill

related to women's reservation aims to give women greater representation and

rights in society. Therefore, its failure to pass is certainly a matter of

concern. He said that in a democracy, every bill requires extensive discussion,

but it is also essential that positive decisions be made on issues of public

interest. He expressed hope that consensus will be reached on this bill in the

future and it will be passed.

The

minister also took a dig at the opposition, saying that important bills are

delayed due to political reasons, affecting the interests of the general

public, especially women. However, he also stated that the government is

committed to maintaining dialogue with all parties and will attempt to resolve

this issue through dialogue. He added that the state government is already

implementing several schemes for women's safety, education, and employment.

Special facilities and opportunities are also being expanded for women in the

Transport Department, enabling them to become self-reliant. The government is

fully prepared to advance other proposals related to women's interests.
