Actor-politician Kamal Haasan has urged the Union government to implement the Women’s Reservation Bill without linking it to the contentious issue of delimitation, stressing that women’s empowerment should not be delayed any further. His remarks come in the wake of recent political developments surrounding the proposed legislation, which failed to pass in Parliament after being tied to electoral boundary changes.

Taking to social media, Haasan expressed strong concern over the decision to connect the implementation of 33 percent reservation for women in Parliament and state assemblies with delimitation. He argued that such a move could create regional imbalances and undermine the federal structure of the country. According to him, the focus should remain firmly on ensuring equal representation for women rather than complicating the process with additional political considerations.
