Selja slams BJP-JJP over women reservation issue

Chandigarh: President, Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee, Kumari Selja said the BJP-JJP Government has once again highlighted its anti-women mentality. Haryana Government had lied about 50 per cent reservation for women in the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs). This decision of the Government will stop women from contesting on the remaining 50 percent seats. The government's confinement of women to 50 percent seats in PRIs exposes its anti-women face.  The government should give women a chance to contest elections on reserved seats as well as unreserved seats, she added.
