A day after the Women's Reservation Bill was voted down in the Lok Sabha, the political battle has intensified across the country.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi blamed the opposition for blocking the bill, while parties like the Indian National Congress hit back, accusing the government of linking the legislation with delimitation for political reasons.
US President Donald Trump intensified his rhetoric against Iran, accusing Tehran of attempting to pressure Washington by threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump said the US “won’t be blackmailed” and indicated that a decision on a potential deal with Iran could come within hours. Despite the sharp criticism of Iran’s leadership and capabilities, Trump confirmed that talks between the two sides are ongoing.

The bill to amend the Women's Reservation Bill failed to clear a key hurdle after the Centre could not secure the votes needed for its passage in the Lok Sabha on Friday.
The Centre needed a two-thirds majority to get the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026, passed, but fell short of the mark. The proposed legislation saw 298 MPs voting in its favour and 230 voting against.
Two other bills, including one for delimitation and increasing the number of seats in the Lok Sabha, were not put to vote after the first one failed, with the Centre saying they were "intrinsically linked" to the legislation related to women's reservation.
