Help pass women's bill

MUMBAI JUNE 14. Demanding reservation for women in `seats' and not just `party lists', the All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA) today urged political parties to pass the Women's Reservation Bill in the coming monsoon session of Parliament.

``It is understood that an alternative proposal to have one-third reservation in party lists was expected to come up in the forthcoming all-party meeting called by the Lok Sabha Speaker, Manohar Joshi, to evolve a consensus on June 16," Ahilya Rangnekar, social activist and AIDWA patron, said in a statement here. — PTI
