Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Thursday told the Rajya Sabha that the House would be adjourned and reconvene soon to take up a “very important” bill, amid plans to increase Lok Sabha seats for women’s reservation. He said Thursday’s agenda would include the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill and the Jan Vishwas (Amendment) Bill, and added that the important bill would be taken up in the next 2–3 weeks. Rijiju stressed the government’s commitment to fulfilling its promise to women, while the Opposition called for caution, citing long-term implications and alleged political motives, which Rijiju denied.
