In a historic move, S Phangnon Konyak, the lone Nagaland MP in the Upper House, has been nominated as one of the vice chairpersons of the Rajya Sabha. This appointment comes as a recognition of BJP’s commitment to women empowerment.
Under the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the Rajya Sabha, Chairman Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar nominated Phangnon on the Panel of Vice Chairpersons, effective from July 17. Expressing her gratitude, Phangnon tweeted that she would serve the nation with great humility and strive to do her best.
The nomination of Phangnon as the second Naga woman parliamentarian is a groundbreaking decision, considering the dominance of patriarchy and male chauvinism in Nagaland’s politics. The BJP’s move is seen as a positive step towards promoting gender diversity in the region’s political landscape.
