Owaisi Slams Women’s Quota Bill As Federalism Threat

Asaduddin Owaisi, Hyderabad MP and AIMIM chief, opposed the Women’s Reservation Bill, arguing it undermines federalism and distorts parliamentary balance. He said the proposal could reduce Muslim representation and favor more populous states. During his protest, he cited Sahir Ludhianvi’s poetry, calling the move less about empowerment and other concerns.
