Women's groups demand passage of women's reservation bill

Different women's groups, demanding the passage of the women's reservation bill, staged a protest outside Parliament House Thursday.
"When the government can so hurriedly pass the Telangana bill, why cannot they do the same for the women reservation bill," said Ranjana Kumari, a social activist.
The protestors demanded that the bill should be passed in the present session itself.
Police detained the protestors and later released them.
