New Delhi, Jun 21: The Women's Reservation Bill will be discussed at an all-party meeting convened by Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar on Wednesday June 22.
The meeting comes ahead of the monsoon session of the Parliament. The controversial Bill is yet to be passed by the Lok Sabha, with parties differing in their views over the quote for women from backward classes.
The Bill that reserves 33 percent of the seats for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies was passed by the Rajya Sabha in March 2010.
The Speaker has urged the parties to arrive at a consensus soon so that the Bill can be passed without further delay.
