Law Minister M Veerappa Moily said the controversial Women's Reservation Bill would be tabled in the Lok Sabha soon, albeit with some changes.
Moily asked MPs to shed their "male chauvinist approach" while voting or discussing the bill. "The Women's Reservation Bill will be a reality soon under the chairmanship of Madam Speaker (Meira Kumar). Any amendment will also be taken up at a subsequent period," Moily said, replying to a debate on legislation seeking to amend personal laws.
The Bill was cleared by the Rajya Sabha in the budget session in March but couldn't make it to the lower house due to vehement opposition from the Rashtriya Janata Dal, Samajwadi Party and other parties.
