P Chidambaram backs Rahul Gandhi, seeks delinking of womens quota from delimitation

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram criticized the government's stance on women's reservation. He stated the reservation law can be implemented immediately without conditions. The Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, 2023, was passed by Parliament. However, its implementation is linked to census and delimitation exercises. This linkage, according to Chidambaram, is a hidden agenda of the government.
