Jaya Bachchan Invokes Ram Navami to Warn Govt on Trans Bill | Rajya Sabha Session 2026

Jaya Bachchan Rajya Sabha Speech: Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan delivered a scathing critique of the Transgender Persons Amendment Bill, 2026, calling it an "insensitive" piece of legislation. During the Budget Session, Bachchan argued that the House has no right to ...

pass sweeping laws without direct representation from the transgender community in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.

Key Highlights:

A Warning on Ram Navami: Invoking Indian mythology, she warned the government not to invite the "wrath" of a community often sought for blessings.
Representation Gap: Why the MP believes laws made for the community shouldn't be made without the community.
Timing Questioned: Why is this Bill being pushed during a session meant for the national budget?
The "SIR" & Vote Bank Charge: Bachchan questions if the legislation is a move to create a new vote bank or aid in a "Social Identity Record" (SIR).
