On Saturday, women political leaders of I.N.D.I.A bloc including Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti are to address the gathering and discuss various issues of women in the first women leader's meet of the Opposition bloc.
Ahead of the party's women's conference being held in Chennai, DMK MP Kanimozhi said, “Half the population of this country is women, therefore the voices of women leaders, their opinions and their concerns have to find focus in the political arena of the country."
"Moreover, we saw what happened to the women's reservation bill. We don't know when it is going to be implemented as there is nothing definitive about it. All these concerns will be addressed in today's meeting by these leaders who've come here on a national level," said the MP.
Sonia Gandhi may meet with party members, including MPs and MLAs, on the sidelines of the event, according to K.S. Alaigiri, president of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) and a senior member of the Congress. The meet is also expected to boost the image of DMK and TN CM Stalin at the national level.
