✦ AI Brief
A senior Congress leader has described delimitation as "political demonetisation" while criticizing the government for linking women's reservation with the expansion of Parliament. The leader participated in a Lok Sabha debate on Bills introduced for amendments in the women's quota law and setting up a delimitation commission. This move is seen as holding the aspirations of Indian women hostage to a complex administrative exercise.
