"The women's reservation bill will eventually weaken Indian democracy and it is really unfortunate that the UPA government at the centre was playing into the hands of those whose only intent was to break the backbone of Indian democracy," Mulayam Singh said at a press conference here.
He was of the view that 33 percent reservation for women in legislatures would finally make it a nearly all-women parliament.
"The manner in which 33 percent seats would be reserved for women in every election, would lead to sending about 80-85 percent women to the parliament," he said.
Terming that as an "alarming situation", he asked, "just imagine what would be the fate of this nation in the hands of inexperienced leadership,with both Pakistan and China sitting across our borders with their own nefarious designs?"
He claimed that the reservation bill would further deprive members of the minority communities, tribals and Dalits from entering parliament or state legislatures.
"As it is, as many as a dozen states had not elected a single Muslim at the last election; therefore it was extremely important that the bill provides for reservation of some seats for women belonging to the minority community, OBCs and Dalits," he stressed.
"I am not opposed to reservation for women, but I am opposed to the bill in its present form," Mulayam Singh added.

So according to Mulayam,the bill in its present form would lead to sending about 80-85 percent women to the parliament,which will inturn lead to the Country having inexperienced leadership!
He has a solution to fix this problem.
And what is that solution?
Well,have reservations for minority community, OBCs and Dalits,inside the women's reservation bill.
Only question to Mulayam is "Sirrrr,does that solve your worry of the Country having an inexperienced leadership????"
Also sir,next time when you Select Samajwadi Party candidates for elections,please do provide enough representation to minority community, OBCs and Dalits,instead of giving tickets to your son,son's wife,film actresses,actors etc.!!
Ok??
