Speaking to ANI, Uttar Pradesh minister Ashish Patel said that the opposition set an undeclared agenda against women that women of the country should not get their rights
"When this (Nari Shakti Vandan Act) Act was implemented in 2023 and all parties came together to carry out its implementation, there was no controversy of any kind, but when the time came to bring this bill to the ground level, the opposition parties worked to obstruct it. This is their undeclared agenda against women that women of the country should not get their rights. We supported the Nari Shakti Vandan Act in 2023 and even in the future, regarding the amendments to this Act, through which the interests of women can be protected, we will carry out that work." Patel added. (ANI)
