“How can you ignore India’s reality and pass the women’s reservation Bill? We may not have the numbers but I will consume poison and die but not allow the passage of the Bill,” Yadav announced in the Lok Sabha while speaking during the debate on the motion of thanks to the President’s address.
The BJP, the JD(U)’s ally in the NDA, however, came out in support of the Bill. “BJP will certainly stand behind the government for the passage of the women’s reservation bill,” Arun Jaitley, Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, said. BJP Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha, Sushma Swaraj, acknowledged her party’s differences with the JD(U) over the Bill.
Yadav said the Congress was indulging in “tokenism” by appointing a woman President and Speaker instead of taking concrete steps to liberate poor and backward women.
“Caste is the biggest curse,” he said. “The caste system has been used to suppress a large section of women. Only when the caste system is demolished will the real women of India be empowered. It cannot be done through the tokenism that the Congress is resorting to.”
The women’s reservation Bill was mentioned by President Pratibha Patil in her address to both Houses of Parliament yesterday as part of the government’s 100-day agenda.
SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav have been powerful opponents of the Bill in the past. Asked if he would continue to oppose the Bill, Lalu said on Friday that he would take a decision after the bill is tabled in the House.

Mr. Sharad yadav is very correct by opposing the women's bill. Do these womens need reservations to come up,Meira kumar, Pratibha Patil has no reservations.They have come up by their merits or by chief leader's proximoity. No need to reservations for any one. Do let come everyone by their hard work and labour. These political parties are making these bills only for vote bank. oppose them publically. we unite.. and oppose such bills which are making gender differences like the caste reservations. Halla bol...
The Yadavs have been virulently opposed to Women's reservation for reasons best known to them but Sharad Yadav's recent outburst borders on blackmail. The Bill should be considered on merits by members of parliament and if found desirable, passed. The present number of women in lower house of parliament (50 among 500 ) does not do justice to their popolation ratio and must be corrected.If the worst happens and Sharad Yadav actually fades into oblivion, no tears need be shed. Everything must pass with time and for social reforms, a price has to be paid.
Go ahead Sharad Yadav, do us all a favor. PLEASE kill yourself. As soon as possible.
Pass the bill immediately before this idiot changes his mind.
Promise, Mr Yadav? Thanks very much!
The Women's bil should be passed!! As for Sharad, let's see if some Indian politician has still words to keep.
Mr. Sharad Yadav, there are many methods of making potent poisons available on the net. Use them. Please don't try overdosing on sleeping pills - it never works and will only prove you are a sissy. To really say f-u to parliamentary process, put a gun to your forehead and pull the trigger.
As long as someone expresses his views within the norms of civil society and democratic polity against an action or thought which is ideologically opposed, it can be respected if not accepted. He has and had every right to express his reservations but within the confines of law. Sharad Yadav's statement at the floor of parliament is demeaning to the temple of democracy. He is reminding me the dramas Sant Fateh Singh used to play in late sixties. I think the correct place for this kind of politician-cum-idiot is not the parliament of our country but some insane asylum. His very intention reflects a sick mind. Will somebody help him ????I think Mr. Nitish Kumar could help him to show the high way of party.
This fellow should be arrested and put behind bar for hollow threats. He is dangerous for social peace and harmony. Expressing intention of suicide is also a punishable crime.
Read your article. We should go ahead with this bill, which should be hailed as the second most courageous and democratic after the Right to Information. thanks.
I am unable to recollect a single instance, in the political arena, where this dud has given any positive contribution. Events are leading to his self removal. Most welcome.
It is shocking to hear an MP speaking rubbish in parliament. Is he out of mind? It will be better to have a job for our women because they will bring rice to their home instead of Alcahol and "poison". Mr. Yadav lives in 19yh century.
Great News. A Law maker who is suppossed to uphold the constitution threatening to commit an illegal act in Parliment In front of the speaker and prime Minister.
We wil have 1 less scoundrel in politics
We hearlty wish you pleasent journey to Heaven/Hell. Please carry on, make it live on TV so that we can enjoy death of a stupid politician.
IF HE WANTS TO COMMIT SUICIDE, I WILL COME AND HELP HIM WITH A REALLY GOOD, FAST ACTING POISON AND PREVENT HIM FROM GOING TO HOSPITAL IF HE CHANGES HIS MIND AFTER INGESTING THE POISON. I DARE YOU, SHARAD YADAV!
Please pass the bill, let him consume poison
Mr Sharad Yadav should go ahead and consume poison.
Sharad should include like minded MPs with him, who can join him in this process of Nation building. Parliament will be relived of all these nonsense politicians in one go. If he dose not have guts to do what he said, then he should ask for reservation of men MP's without balls.
Sharad Yadav and Laloo Yadav are both 'Dramabaaz'.Let us see how Laloo reacts to these utterances of Sharad as both compete for the same vote bank.
Go ahead Mr.Sharad.At last we would have hit 2 birds with one stone.Like DMK party's support from outside you are not going to fulfill your vow.
That will remain as the one and only service you would do to this Nation. But knowing characters like you, Sharad, we know how you will later deny such statements. Shame on you, Sharad Yadav
it is too eazy to play fool with the uneducated voters of the constituency and get into the elite class of parliamentarians but it takes mamooth amount of caliber to play a constructive role inside it and this is what is tru of most of the leaders not all representing backward areas and mr. yadav is one of those coming in ambit of this principle so we can only expect this sort of timidness from him , sensing the future danger of being challenged by an array of women taking the baton.
It is a very good move by Mr.Yadav. All parliament members should follow him. Poison is the best remedy to clean Indian politics. Please consume poison for 1 billion population. Jai hind
