New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Sunday that the Women Reservation Act was an opportunity for the party to identify and nurture aspiring and established women leaders.
On the 40th anniversary of the All India Mahila
Congress (AIMC), Rahul Gandhi said that during the Bharat Jodo Yatra and Bharat
Jodo Nyaya Yatra, he met remarkable women across India determined to make a
difference.
“Many had the passion, perseverance, and commitment
to drive far-reaching changes in society. Some of the fiercest and most
fearless voices against injustice were of women. In this day and age, there is
no reason whatsoever to deny women meaningful opportunities in public life,” he
said.
Congratulating the leaders and members for
“building the organization brick by brick”, he said that AIMC has been a
fearless voice for justice and has firmly established itself as the most active
frontal organization of the Congress.
He congratulated AIMC on the launch of the
nationwide online membership drive for the first time.
“I am happy to know that the membership drive will
be followed by a pan-India leadership training programme,” he said
“I hope the AIMC continues to work towards ensuring
greater political participation of women across caste, class, and religious
lines. Lastly, I salute your dedication to a cause greater than yourself, and
wish the AIMC the best in its future endeavours,” the Congress MP said.
Taking to social media platform X, Rahul Gandhi
said: “Congratulations and best wishes to all the office bearers and workers on
the foundation day of All India Mahila Congress. Your tireless work is playing
an important role in empowering the women of India.”
“Salute to your struggle and dedication for their
respect, equality, and safety,” he said.
