BJP national spokesperson Shanzia Ilmi launched a fierce criticism of the Congress and other opposition parties, accusing them of sabotaging the women's reservation bill, which seeks to empower half of India's population.
Speaking at a press conference, Ilmi labeled the opposition's stance during the recent parliamentary session as a betrayal, highlighting a missed historic opportunity for the country's democracy.
