[00:00:00]Yes, yes. Well, that was inevitable.

[00:00:02]That was a commitment of the BJP even that was committed to the people of Assam. So, uh we had overwhelming support for the bill and bill has been passed in the assembly.

[00:00:19]So, once it gets the legitimacy, it will be implemented as a law. Uh but the Congress has demanded to implement the 50 50 50% women reservation. It will go progressively. It will go progressively.

[00:00:32]At the moment because parliament had passed about 33% initially. Obviously, this is a progressive way. Uh tomorrow the UCC bill discussion will be held.

[00:00:43]Yes, yes.

[00:00:45]It will also be passed.

[00:00:47]Uh it will be very smooth sailing in the assembly.

[00:00:51]There'll be debate tomorrow and I'm sure it will be passed with overwhelming majority again. But the opposition, especially the Congress and the AODF, has stated that the government has stated that this bill has been bringing only to target the Muslim community.

[00:01:04]>> No, no, not at all. This is a universal.

[00:01:06]It will be applicable to every citizen.

[00:01:09]Okay? And that is the that is the spirit of the constitution. Thank you.
