ARNIA, Nov 6: All J&K Kshatriya Yuva Saini Sabha (JKKYSS) here today staged a protest demonstration against the grant of OBC status to Saini community.
Led by Saksham Singh, JKKYSS president many youth of Saini community assembled in Arnia and raised slogans in support of their demand and showed black flags to the community members who celebrated the grant of OBC status.
Talking to media persons, Saksham Singh said that youth of Saini community is not happy with the decision of government for granting OBC status to their community.
“In present era there is a dire need to encourage the youth to become independent and not to depend on Government jobs. Since PM Modi has taken over, numbers of youth welfare schemes have been introduced with an aim to make our country self reliant,” he said.
“Some of our community members, without consulting the community youth had approached the G.D Sharma Committee for grant of OBC status for personal motives,” he claimed and warned such persons to desist from their nefarious acts failing which they have no other option but to come on roads to express resentment.
Saksham Singh appealed J&K LG to exclude Saini community from the lists of reserve castes.
