AGARTALA, July 15 (TIWN): In demand of passing of Women's Reservation Bill CPI-M has held a rally in Tripura.

The Women's Reservation Bill or The Constitution (108th Amendment) Bill, 2008, is a lapsed bill in the Parliament of India which proposed to amend the Constitution of India to reserve 33% of all seats in the Lower house of Parliament of India, the Lok Sabha, and in all state legislative assembly for women. The seats were proposed to be reserved in rotation and would have been determined by draw of lots in such a way that a seat would be reserved only once in three consecutive general elections.

The Rajya Sabha passed the bill on 9 March 2010, however, the Lok Sabha  never voted on the bill.

 The bill lapsed after the dissolution of the 15th Lok Sabha in 2014.
