Nari Shakti Vandan Padyatra and

conference organised in city's West Assembly

Prayagraj, April 16 (HS): In support of the Nari

Shakti Vandan Act, a Nari Shakti Vandan Padyatra was taken out in the City West

Assembly and a Nari Shakti Sammelan was organised. The Padyatra which started

from Thakurdwara Sulem Sarai concluded at Hanuman Vatika. During the Padyatra,

women supported the Nari Shakti Vandan Act through slogans like Thank you

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Empowered Women, Empowered

India.

Addressing the Nari Shakti Vandan

Sammelan organised at Hanuman Vatika after the Padyatra as the chief guest,

City West MLA Siddharth Nath Singh said that after a long wait of 76 years,

half the population is getting its rights. The historic Nari Shakti Vandan Act

of the Modi government is paving the way for the dignified presence of women in

the temple of democracy. 33% participation in the Lok Sabha and Legislative

Assemblies is a revolution of change whose echoes will resonate for

generations. Half the population will now ensure participation not just in

numbers but also in policymaking. When women get the opportunity, they don't

hold back; they make history. Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar also said that there must be

equality. Opposition parties continued to block this bill. However, thanks to

the willpower of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, this Act is now becoming a

reality. The mother power achieves whatever it sets its mind to. The first

Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh was also a woman. Many women sacrificed their

lives in the freedom struggle. Women have played a vital role in building a new

India. When women are empowered, the nation is empowered.

Prior to this, guests on stage were

welcomed with bouquets and robes. Former Mayor Abhilasha Gupta Nandi was the

coordinator of the event. The program was conducted by BJP Mahila Morcha State

General Secretary Dr. Kritika Agarwal and Metropolitan President Sanjay Gupta.

Mayor Ganesh Kesarwani, State Women Commission members Geeta Vishwakarma, Shashi

Varshney, Shikha Rastogi, councilors Deepika Patel, Abha Singh, Rita Singh,

Apoorva Chandra, Kiran Devi Kesarwani, Smita Kesarwani, Kajal Patel, Preeti
