MSCW seeks representation

Mizoram State Commission for Women (MSCW) has said that it wanted women representation in the State Assembly.

“Like a house without a woman is incomplete, the government machinery is also incomplete without women,” the commission said in a statement on Thursday after a meeting of the commission members.

The demand of the panel is not without reason. In the history of Mizoram, women have never been elected or nominated as Member of Parliament despite the state having two MP seats since its birth.
