New Delhi, March 10: A Muslim member in the Rajya Sabha today sarcastically said one day there may be 33 per cent reservation for men in the legislature going by the reservation given to women.
Participating in the debate on the Women’s Reservation Bill, Peevee Abdul Wahab (IUML) said, “If the trend continues, male members will be minority here. We have to have 33 per cent reservation for men.”
Taking a dig at Brinda Karat (CPI-M), who cited representation of women in Hyderabad Corporation, Wahab wanted to know what was happening in West Bengal and what was the percentage of Muslims in that state. This was strongly objected to Karat and other CPI-M members.
