Sanson demanded some legal steps to correct the injustices meted out to General Category through caste based policies of the Government and legal and constitutional steps for ‘equal rights and equal laws’ through “Equality Act” be taken. All such laws and provisions which differentiate between caste and caste be withdrawn to make India a civilized and democratic nation in real sense.
