Delhi/Hyderabad, April 17 (Maxim News) Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has said that delimitation is like political demonetization. He said that the delimitation process will upset the balance between the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, and the Women’s Reservation Bill will be tied up with the Delimitation Bill. Today, MP Shashi Tharoor spoke during the discussion on the bills in the Lok Sabha. He said that women’s reservation should not be linked with the delimitation process. He said that there are three flaws in the Delimitation Bill. He said that there should be a very wide discussion on delimitation. He said that the gap between small and big states should be looked at. He also said that the states that have controlled their population should be considered. He said that there is no need to pass the Delimitation Bill in a hurry.
He alleged that the government was negligent during demonetization and is now engaging in political demonetization on the pretext of delimitation. MP Shashi Tharoor criticized the 50 percent formula proposed by Home Minister Amit Shah. He said that the minister’s announcement is a dangerous political statement and does not constitute a constitutional guarantee. He said that increasing the number of Lok Sabha members to 850 seats is not going to happen and that the strength of the Rajya Sabha should also be increased accordingly. He said that his party supports the Women’s Reservation Bill, but opposes the Delimitation Bill. (Maxim News)
