Parliament proceedings witnessed a sharp political exchange between the government and the Opposition as bills related to delimitation and women's quota in Lok Sabha were introduced. Union Home Minister Amit Shah responded to objections raised by Opposition members, reiterating the government's position.
Amit Shah clarified that it was 'unconstitutional' to have reservation on the basis of religion after Samajwadi Party MP Dharmendra Yadav reportedly sought the women from backward classes in the Parliament quota.
Shah said, 'Our Constitution doesn't allow reservation on the basis of religion. I want to say that any reservation to Muslims on the basis of religion is unconstitutional.'
