Addressing them, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla referred to the Nari Shakti Vandan Act and said, "The purpose of the legislation, to reserve one-third of the total seats in the Lok Sabha and state legislatures for women, will prove to be a gamechanger in bringing women to leadership roles in the decision-making process."
