The debate has been that we should not be making a soft landing for women. I represent women of this country and we are not seeking preferential treatment or soft landing for the women. We are just saying that there has been an imbalance, a perpetrated situation culturally, economically and socially, which has put women in the periphery. We are asking how we can correct this imbalance. The nomination or the top-up process which Article 177 speaks about is intended to bridge the gap."}
