    "content": "I am really fatigued with this issue of two-third gender rule. The framers of our Constitution did not have in mind a Constitution where everything is two gendered. I have always thought that in the Constitution, you cannot have affirmative action. I am a proponent of affirmative action. Affirmative Action should come in form of Bills and Acts of Parliament and not in the Constitution. This is because it is very hard to amend the Constitution. As old as the American Constitution is, it has only been amended 27 times. We have the two-third gender rule in our Constitution. I think there must have been a very serious activist in the Committee of Experts and that is why we are facing many challenges. I do not think in this country one gender has been having problems all along. I also do not think we will be having a gender problem for many years. Our girls are getting educated and very soon they will catch up."
