17% in Pakistan and they have 21 % representation.

the problem is with these parties , they are saying that women from Dalit and minorities should have sub quota.
I find it weird, bec. the same issue congress and left will have , I know it is just that they dont have strong women from all communities in their party ranks and they will be in mess in next elections.
Samajwadi party has the biggest Muslim vote bank in UP, they will suffer as they dont have strong Muslim female candidate, where as congress has.

Its not about strong or weak. once you have a quota then they can bring anyone.

The diverse structure in India indeed demands quota for all quraters.
