Enhancing pride of Bharatvarsha in every field: PM Modi hails women's power as 'hallmark of strong India'

PM Modi says women are enhancing Bharat's pride in every field, as Lok Sabha debates the women's reservation bill ahead of a crucial vote.

"Our women's power is the hallmark of a strong India. - Prime Minister Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, April 17

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday hailed women's power as the hallmark of a strong India saying that mothers, sisters and daughters are enhancing the pride of "Bharatvarsha" in every field.

In a post on X, PM Modi wrote, "Our women's power is the hallmark of a strong India. The mothers, sisters, and daughters of the nation are enhancing the pride of Bharatvarsha in every field today with their unbreakable resolve, devotion, and spirit of service."

The Prime Minister also shared a Sanskrit verse, offering salutations to Goddess Ambika and invoking her blessings for the nation's welfare.

The verse read: "We offer our reverent salutations to Ambika - worshipped by all the gods and great sages - who, through her divine power, pervades this entire universe and who is the very embodiment of the collective powers of all the deities. May that mother of the universe bestow welfare upon us." (translated from Sanskrit)

Meanwhile, addressing the Lok Sabha on Thursday during the special three-day session on the women's reservation and delimitation bills, the Prime Minister delivered a strong political message, warning that those who opposed granting rights to women in the past have often faced electoral consequences.

He said the women's reservation law would help change the "disha and dasha" (direction and condition) of India's politics by ensuring greater participation of women in decision-making. Emphasising its role in achieving the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, he added that women voters have historically "taught a lesson" to those who opposed such provisions.

"We are privileged that we have an opportunity to give a new direction to the nation's politics and strengthen democracy," he said, urging political parties not to view the issue through a partisan lens.

The Lok Sabha is scheduled to vote on three bills related to women's reservation and the establishment of a delimitation commission on Friday at 4 p.m.

Earlier on Thursday, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said the discussion on the bills would continue for 12 hours, with provisions to extend the time if required. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla later indicated that the debate could last 15-18 hours, ensuring adequate time for all members to speak before voting.

Good words from PM. But we need to see action on the ground. In my village, girls still drop out of school early. Empowerment should start from education and safety, not just political seats. Jai Hind.

As a young professional, I'm inspired! From sports to science, Indian women are shining. Invoking Maa Ambika's blessings gives it a beautiful cultural touch. May this lead to a more inclusive and developed Bharat. 🇮🇳

Watching from the US. India's move on women's reservation is significant. The blend of modern policy with ancient Sanskrit verses is uniquely Indian. Hope the debate is productive and the bill gets strong support.

The warning about electoral consequences is spot on. Voters, especially women, are not silent anymore. This bill can change 'disha and dasha' for real. Let's hope all parties support it beyond politics.

While the sentiment is good, I'm cautiously optimistic. We've heard promises before. The proof will be in the implementation and ensuring reserved seats don't just become tokens for political families. Fingers crossed!
