JAMMU, Aug 6: While opposing the move of the Arakshan Virodhi Manch and another organization namely, India Against Reservation, State president of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has claimed that it will create hatred among the beneficiaries of the reservation and also lead to division in the society.
While speaking in workers’ meeting held here today, Mr Langeh took serious note of the protest programme being organized by these two anti-reservation bodies on August 7 at Press Club of Jammu. He said the caste system caused massive damage to the members from the Scheduled Castes and the Indian Constitution provided them some relief and opportunity to progress and improve their condition.
The BSP leader claimed that this move would create division in the society and also give rise to the hatred among the member of two sections, beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries. The BSP leader opposed the reservation being demanded by these two bodies on the basis of poverty lines or economic condition of the families among all the castes.
He pointed out that people from lower castes always remained slaves and reservation has made them to lead their life honourably. The children of SC/ OBC families are now getting opportunities for better education and also work in various fields. This anti-reservation move will cause maximum damage to the members from these castes. He said that BSP would strongly oppose this move tooth and nails.
