The Congress on Wednesday hit out at the government over the women's reservation bill brought by it, saying the only appropriate description of what Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done with the matter is "it is a post-dated cheque drawn on a failing bank".

The constitutional amendment bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. It was the first bill introduced in the new Parliament building. The bill provides for 33 per cent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies.
