Anurag Thakur alleged that the Congress neither wanted to give reservations to women leaders in 2010 when it was in power and nor does it want to do so now.
Hitting back at Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal over his claim that the BJP was trying to extract political mileage from the women's reservation Bill that was tabled in the Lok Sabha, Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Tuesday said the former was the Law Minister when the draft legislation was introduced earlier in 2008 and is aware that the then Congress-led UPA never intended to pass the Bill.
The women's reservation Bill, which seeks to give fair representation to women leaders in the Parliament and other legislative bodies, was introduced in the Lower House during the ongoing Special Session of the Parliament, on Tuesday.
Mr Thakur alleged that the Congress neither wanted to give reservations to women leaders in 2010 when it was in power and nor does it want to do so now.
