The women's wing of the Congress party, All India Mahila Congress (AIMC), criticised the Transgender Bill tabled in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, calling it "regressive" and "misplaced".
A statement issued by AIMC national president and former MP Sushmita Dev said, "Codifying transgender rights is the product of one of the longest and most powerful transgender rights movements, but what has been tabled is a travesty of justice. The bill is regressive and misplaced and moves away from the broader intersectional framework, which was the real aspiration of the community."
