    "content": "“In addition to the measures contemplated in clause (6), the State shall take legislative and other measures to implement the principle that no more than two- thirds of Members of elective and appointive bodies shall be of the same gender”. That principle is not captured in this Bill. That makes it not constitutional. I have been hearing debates that the proposals that the women organizations have brought forward are unconstitutional because they discriminate against men. Even in our Constitution there is limitation of rights where you can limit rights by looking at historical injustices. If there had been historical injustices which are very clear, then you can limit the rights of the other side of the gender. That provision is given in the Constitution. It is not something I am bringing on board."
