Sonia Gandhi demanded that the quota be implemented immediately and SC, ST and OBC women also be given reservation following a caste census.
Striking an emotive note, former Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday remembered her "life partner" Rajiv Gandhi while speaking on the women's reservation bill and said his dream would be fulfilled with the passage of this legislation.
Extending her party's support to the women's reservation bill, the Congress parliamentary party chief demanded that the quota be implemented immediately and SC, ST and OBC women also be given reservation following a caste census.
While putting forward strong political points on the bill, she also injected a personal note when she recalled former prime minister and her husband Rajiv Gandhi's efforts to secure reservation for women.
