The Jammu & Kashmir Legislative Assembly has formally admitted MLA Waheed Para’s ‘Maa-Beti Aur Aane Wali Naslein Bachao’ Bill, a legislative step aimed at safeguarding women and unborn children.
The bill, introduced by PDP MLA Waheed Para, seeks to strengthen legal safeguards for women and unborn children against violence and discrimination.
During the assembly session, the motion to admit the bill was passed after a brief debate, with no recorded opposition.
If enacted, the legislation would impose stricter penalties for offenses against pregnant women and unborn children, and mandate protective measures in healthcare and public spaces.
Political leaders from the ruling coalition welcomed the move, citing it as a step toward greater gender justice, while opposition parties urged for clearer implementation details.
