The Samajwadi Party (SP) has reiterated its demand for a "quota within quota" for Muslim women in India's proposed Women's Reservation Bill. Party MP Dharmendra Yadav stated the SP will not support the bill's implementation unless this specific reservation is included. This demand has already drawn a sharp rebuke from Indian Home Minister Amit Shah, who directly rejected the proposal.
