Why the govt's bill failed, Bengal voters worry, and Hormuz blockade
About this episode
First, we talk to The Indian Express' Deeptiman Tiwary about the special session of the parliament that was held to debate and pass the 131st Constitution Amendament Bill which aimed to implement 33% reservation for women in Lok Sabha and state assemblies, and facilitate delimitation. The bill failed to receive the required majority and Deeptiman shares why it happened and how things will proceed.
Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Sweety Kumari about the 27 lakh people in West Bengal who still don't know if they will be able to vote in the Assembly polls that are to be held in the state soon. Sweety talks about the plight of these people, the processes in place and what lies ahead for them. (16:32)
Lastly, we talk about Iran changing its mind about opening up the Strait of Hormuz and two Indian flagged carriers being attacked by the Iranian navy. (29:54)
