Today in Parliament, Rajya Sabha MP Derek O'Brien voiced his support for the Women's Reservation Bill but raised significant concerns about the government's approach to passing legislation in a parliamentary democracy.

O'Brien emphasized that a parliamentary democracy requires cooperation and transparency, contrasting it with an army commando operation that necessitates secrecy. He questioned the government's decision to withhold the bill's agenda until later, criticizing the lack of discussion about it during an all-party meeting held on Sunday.

Furthermore, O'Brien expressed dissatisfaction with the government's handling of the bill, particularly its request for amendments within a four-hour deadline following a cabinet meeting.
