Nedumbassery: The proposed women’s reservation bill in Parliament should widen its scope by including the clause of reservation for women in government jobs and for their promotion, Prabha Thakur, national president of the Mahila Congress and a Rajya Sabha M.P, said here on Monday. She told media persons that the total number of women in government jobs accounted almost 50 per cent but still the scenario was a male-dominated one. And if the scope of the bill was widened by accommodating the clause of job reservation for women at both the Centre and state levels, this would be helpful in breaking male domination. She said that on the instruction of the party president, Sonia Gandhi, a team of Mahila Congress delegates under her leadership would be leaving for Johannesburg, South Africa on Tuesday to study the various issues related to the implementation of women’s reservation at all levels. On the recent violent incidents in the State she said the LDF government was enforcing “police raj”.
