However, there are some matters which pertain specifically to women , and it is necessary to draw some points to wards women’s attention. Therefore, the need could arise for me to deliver a separate speech in the women’s Jalsa. Yet i n the past years , women have insisted that I deliver a sep arate speech to them at Jalsa. It is a natural desire for people to wish to claim their right. I cannot ignore their request.
