    "content": "Hon. Speaker, we talk of so many women in this House. I want to clarify that out of 290, we are only 23 elected from the single member constituencies. What does that mean? It means that we are a mere seven per cent. We are still very far to go. We have debated this rule even in the last Parliament. We were very close. In fact, I think we were short of 18 votes only in the 11th Parliament. We are here again. We owe it not just to ourselves or women but to this country and the fidelity of the Constitution that we proclaim. This is one regret that I have for this Constitution. We have not implemented it. It is not a women issue; it is constitutional. As it is, this House is far from being properly constituted in terms of adhering to Article 81(2) of the Constitution. What does that say?"
