Ahead of a three-day special session of Parliament where the Women’s Reservation Act is expected to be amended, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Saturday (April 11, 2026) said the proposed changes should not be a political tool that undermines federalism and saps the vitality of Parliament.
In a post on X, he claimed the government was calling a “special session” to derive political mileage ahead of the state polls with a view to delimitation ahead of the 2029 general election.
