Haryana State Assembly on Monday (April 27, 2026) passed a resolution for the formation of a Special Committee of the assembly on women empowerment, even as the Congress boycotted the special session of the Assembly, accusing the ruling BJP of misusing the legislative platform for political propaganda.
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that the constitution of the women empowerment committee would strengthen the women in line with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The committee would prove to be a milestone in the direction of women empowerment, he said.

Speaking in the House on Congress’ boycott of the Assembly session, Mr. Saini said the Congress’s conduct has once again exposed its anti-approach towards women’s rights. “Congress has once again exposed its real face. When it comes to women’s rights, they step back at the crucial moment,” he said, adding that the same attitude seen in the Lok Sabha was repeated in the State Assembly.
Mr. Saini said that when the House convened specifically to deliberate on women’s empowerment, the opposition chose to remain absent. “They speak about women’s empowerment outside the House, but avoid even participating in discussion when it matters inside,” he said, adding that the resolution was an opportunity for course correction, but instead of supporting women, the opposition chose to stay away.
