New Delhi, Sept 21 (IBNS): Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Thursday wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to pass the Women's Reservation Bill in the Lok Sabha.

In her letter, Gandhi said: "You may recall that the Rajya Sabha had passed the Women's Reservation bill on March 9, 2010. Since then, however, it has laguished in the Lok Sabha for one reason or another."

Gandhi has also assured PM Modi of her party’s support in the passage of the bill to become a law.

"The Congress party has always and will continue to support this legislation which will be a significant step forward in the empowerment of women, " she wrote.

She further wrote that: "I am writing to request you to take advantage of your majority in the Lok Sabha to now get the Women’s Reservation Bill passed in the Lower House as well."
