Chandigarh, July 24

She emphasised that the budget failed to address the critical needs of women, providing no specific programmes or financial support aimed at their empowerment. She said women expected initiatives to enhance their economic, social, and health status; however, the budget failed to meet those expectations.

Gill said the Union Budget had completely ignored the plight of women. She said, “The promises made in this budget are just for show. By the time they are implemented, another budget will come.”
