What Happened

The Lok Sabha witnessed heated debate as three bills—women's reservation, delimitation, and union territories amendments—were introduced. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav questioned the government's urgency, demanding census completion before delimitation. Home Minister Amit Shah responded that census 2027 is underway with caste enumeration, rejecting religion-based reservations as unconstitutional.
