A meeting of the Union was held under the chairmanship of Abdul Majid Malik for discussing the constitutional rights of OBCs viz-a-viz attitude of the State Government.
The meet took serious not of the State Government’s purported move of according eight percent reservation to Pahari speaking people but maintaining a silence over 27 percent quota of OBCs.
The National Conference during its 32 years of rule in J&K has destroyed the State by creating its own laws and regulations. It has not accepted the Supreme Court’s judgement of 1992 on Mandal report but distributed reservation like sale in fish market, the meet observed and ridiculed reservation on the name of RBA, ALC etc.
If reservation can be given on the name of Pahari speaking, then why not reservation to Kashmiri speaking, Punjabi speaking, Dogri speaking, Kishtwari speaking etc, the Union asked and appealed all the OBC leaders to join hands for a joint struggle.
Those who attended the meeting, included Sandokh Chand, Swaran Singh, Mouj Sharan, Master Sain Dass, Khadim Hussain, Mohd Iqbal, Prof Kali Dass and others.
