    "content": "Lower House. Currently, they are at the 50 per cent position representation in all the Lower Houses except the Lok Sabha which is the equivalent of the National assembly. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this matter is urgent and important. However, I have seen the arguments where somebody asks: “Why did you send me a message? You should have allowed my conscience to dictate whether or not I should vote for the gender question.” This is so, yet, that person was seated a few minutes before that vote and walked out. We leave these nice seats as leaders; go home to our daughters, mothers and wives. It is an embarrassment to us, the men folk. If there are people who need to change, it is we. I want to stand up to be counted and say my vote is that this question must be answered; how else are we going to produce Angela Markel, Hilary Clinton, Theresa May and Sonia Gandhi? We are doing poorly among the world democracies. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when I hear the Jubilee coalition saying that they will have somebody now, another person the other time and so on, I think that even these people are not thinking. They should say that the Deputy President in another election should be a woman. That is the way to do it so that we can then support this cause. Take leadership, Sen. Elachi, instead of saying that we are going to have men ruling us in the next 20 years."
