PM Modi's Nari Shakti Message Sparks Opposition Attack
India just celebrated its Independence Day, a holiday when the whole country remembers becoming free.
On that day, the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, gave a big speech.
In the speech, he talked a lot about "Nari Shakti," which means the power of women.
Some leaders from another political party, called Congress, did not like what he said.
Congress leader Rajiv Shukla said there is already a special bill to give women more seats in parliament.
He said that bill just needs to be put into action, instead of the government only talking about women.
Another Congress leader, Sachin Pilot, said the BJP, Modi's party, is using the women's bill for politics.
So now, the two parties are arguing about whether the person in charge really wants to help women.
This argument shows that even a message about helping women can become a big political fight.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a Nari Shakti message on India's Independence Day.
The message sparked a sharp political response from the Opposition, with Congress leaders questioning the government's intentions.
Congress MP Rajiv Shukla said the Women's Reservation Bill has already been passed and only needs to be implemented.
Shukla suggested there could be another agenda behind the government's messaging on women's political representation.
Congress leader Sachin Pilot alleged the BJP was trying to fulfil a 'political agenda' in the name of the Women's Reservation Bill.
