Law Minister Meghwal Recites Original Verse During Lok Sabha Bill Piloting
Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal introduced a unique personal touch to parliamentary proceedings in New Delhi on April 16, 2026, by reciting an original poem while piloting the Delimitation and Constitution Amendment Bills in the Lok Sabha. Departing from the common practice of quoting established Hindi and Urdu couplets, Meghwal shared his own composition, 'Hamari aan hai naari, hamaari shaan hai naari,' highlighting his role as an author. The moment lightened the atmosphere when Speaker Om Birla humorously warned opposition members that interrupting would result in hearing another poem. The legislative session also featured special guests, including a contingent of women from Arunachal West, invited by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju to witness discussions on the Nari Shakti Adhiniyam. Dressed in traditional attire, these guests observed the tabling and debate surrounding the significant constitutional amendments. The event underscores the intersection of cultural expression and formal legislative processes in India's parliament, marking a notable instance of personal creativity within high-stakes political deliberations regarding delimitation and women's reservation laws.
