New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has assured that the Women's Reservation Bill would be tabled in the Budget session of the Parliament.
Singh told a delegation of women leaders, which included MPs, that an all-party meeting would be convened on March 20 to arrive at a consensus and hinted that there had been some kind of a "breakthrough" in negotiations with other political parties on the issue.
The Prime Minister said he was confident that the Bill would be passed though he regretted that it had taken so long, Akhila Shivdas, a member of the delegation, said.
The delegation presented a charter to Singh on Saturday demanding that the political class go beyond rhetoric and give 33 percent representation to women in legislatures and provide gender-sensitive governance.
The Prime Minister also made it clear that it would be his endeavour to see that the National Rural Health Mission is a success at the end of the his government's term.
