PATNA: JD(U) appears to be undecided on the issue of women's bill with the party chief opposing the measure in its present form and senior leader and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar remaining non-committal.

The confusion in the JD(U) camp comes even as its NDA partner BJP has made its stand clear to support the bill.

Yadav is dead against the passage of the bill in its present form and has even threatened to commit suicide if there was no sub-quota for Dalit women in the proposed legislation.

On the other hand, Kumar has remained tightlipped on his stand. He has been merely saying that his party will take a decision once the bill is brought in Parliament.

"My party has not taken any decision on the subject as yet," Kumar said, when asked about the bill.

"As far I know the bill is before the standing committee of Parliament and we do not know what shape it will finally take. Let the suggestions from the standing committee come. We will then be ready with our views," he said.
