BJP takes credit for Women’s Bill Updated - 18/3/2010 - indianexpress.
BJP on Wednesday sought to take credit for its role in passage of the Women’s Reservation Bill in Rajya Sabha and forcing the government to defer the nuclear liability bill. "When the Women’s Reservation Bill came many said opposition unity will be broken but we were not affected by criticism that BJP was aligning with the Left," Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj told a press conference. When she was reminded that Congress has already taken credit for passage of the women’s bill in Rajya Sabha, she said, "Democracy runs on numbers. In the House where it was passed, government did not have a majority." Leader of Opposition in the Upper House Arun Jaitley, who was also present, referred to the din and use of marshals when the contentious bill came up for discussion and passage. "My de facto intervention became the de jure debate," he claimed, adding that he had objected to the use of marshals even in his speech. "You cannot have voting or debate in the presence of marshals," he said.
