Responding to criticisms from the Opposition, Nirmala Sitharaman said the BJP has been consistently supportive of women reservation.
"In women-related matters, we (BJP) do not play any politics. It is an article of faith for the PM and therefore we do everything that we have done whether it is Article 370, triple talaq, or women's reservation bill," she said.

Amid deteriorating diplomatic ties between India and Canada, NCP leader Supriya Sule asked the government to hold a discussion on the matter during the ongoing special session of Parliament.
India on Tuesday had rejected as 'absurd' and 'motivated' Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations of a 'potential' involvement of Indian agents in the killing of Khalistani separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June and kicked out a senior Canadian diplomat in a tit-for-tat move to Ottawa's expulsion of an Indian official over the case.
Sule raised the issue while speaking on the women's reservation bill in the Lok Sabha. She also demanded a detailed discussion on issues like onion prices, inflation and drought in some parts of the country
Lok Sabha will hold a discussion on the success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission.
Just before he adjourned the House for the day after the passage of the women's reservation bill, Speaker Om Birla informed the members that Lok Sabha will take up a discussion on the success of the latest moon mission and the India's glorious space journey.
Rajya Sabha discussed the subject on Wednesday.
Delighted at the passage of The Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-Eighth Amendment) Bill, 2023 in the Lok Sabha with such phenomenal support. I thank MPs across Party lines who voted in support of this Bill.
