It may be mentioned that on the occasion of International Women's Day on Saturday, Lamba, while addressing the partys women's wing, had said the Women Reservation Bill had only been passed and not implemented which is injustice and betrayal to the half population.

Lamba had said that she, along with thousands of women activists and supporters, will demand that the government prioritise the passing of the Women’s Reservation Bill to ensure that women are given fair political representation.
