| Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu today said political parties must reach a conclusion on the long-pending women's reservation bill and attacked the Congress over the alleged remarks of its leaders.
Participating in a debate on 'Commitment to Constitution' in the Lok Sabha, Mr Venkaiah Naidu also pitched for a common civil code and inter-linking of rivers.
He said there was a need to focus on the women's reservation bill that provides for 33 per cent seats in Parliament and state assemblies for women.
"We have been talking about it but not working (on) it. We must come to a conclusion," he said. The bill was passed by the Rajya Sabha in 2010 but is yet to be passed by the Lok Sabha.
Mr Venkaiah Naidu hit back at the Congress for its criticism of the Narendra Modi government on the issue of intolerance and said party president Sonia Gandhi did not condemn the remarks of Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar that Prime Minister Narendra Modi needs to be removed for the resumption of talks between India and Pakistan.
Mr Venkaiah Naidu also referred to Mr Mani Shankar Aiyar's earlier comment about the prime minister selling tea in his childhood.
