    "content": "one serves in an affirmative seat for one term, you have already been given a push to vie for a position. Give that position to another woman and let them also have a chance to have a profile and build momentum to run for a seat. These are some of the things that were made as a compromise and this Bill envisages two terms. I think that two terms is too much. I hope that we will relook at that. If one serves in an affirmative seat for one term, they should then run for office. The other good thing is the exit clause. This will not be permanent. I hope in 20 years when we review, we will do affirmative action for men or maybe we will be at 50- 50 and hence, not need any affirmative action. Therefore, this exit clause helps a lot, so that it is not seen to be permanent. Women should not just relax and do nothing towards acquiring these positions. We must go out there and encourage everyone who serves on an affirmative action seat to get out so that we can grow the numbers. With those many remarks, I beg to support. I hope that Members will see the need, duty and the constitutional requirement of enacting this Bill into law."
