Govt does not want to bulldoze passage of women's bill: Moily

New Delhi, Mar 8 (PTI) Government on Tuesday said it
would hold a discussion on the Women's Reservation Bill in the
Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Indian Parliament) and not
bulldoze the passage of the evolutionary measure involving
amendment of the Constitution.

"A Constitution amendment bill of this dimension is
evolutionary in nature and (the government) does not want to
just bulldoze it. It is not just to by-pass a discussion," Law
Minister of India M Veerappa Moily told reporters in the
national capital.
"Tomorrow, after 50 years someone will question that
such an important bill was passed without a discussion,
without a dialogue. We never wanted to be intolerant about it.
There are people who opposed it...that was a national shame,"
the Minister said.
"I don't think it will augur well for the persons or
the parties which demonstrated ....the ugliest ever done," the
Minister said. MORE PTI AHM
