Women Empowerment

Elections were over. The newly elected CM goes to a hand-loom workshop.
When he is asked to give a speech, he takes the mic and starts talking on women empowerment. And, finally, he then discloses his grand plan to introduce 50% quota in administrative departments. His final statement is, "This should make you all happy.". He sat down sporting a big grin.
A young lady in mid-twenties stood up, went on the stage, took the mic from the minister and said, "I am not happy sir. I don't need quota to reach to the top. I can do just fine on my own. My country doesn't need 50% women in administration. My country needs the entire system to comprised of efficient people! And you Mr. Minster, with all due respect, I hate to point this out in public, but you are the biggest sexual discriminator of all for introducing this scheme!"

This is dedicated to all the great women like Ms Chanda Kochhar & Ms Indra Nooyi, who made it to the top without any quota & managed to set an example for men & women alike!
