Women’s reservation bill passage kindles hope but uncertainty in implementation raises concern

The Economic Times : 

Prominent lawyer Shilpi Jain said it could have been implemented immediately.

“Just give tickets to 33 per cent women! At least fix a time limit for its implementation. Otherwise, it’s an eyewash. It’s like being given a prize which can’t be taken for the next few years!

“A law that doesn’t have a time limit about its actual implementation doesn’t come into effect till it’s implemented! It’s half a trophy being given now. The other half, no one knows if/when it will be given!” she said.
