NOWSHERA, Oct 18: The members of Scheduled Caste, Scheduled tribe and Other Backward Classes discussed the issue of reservation in a convention held here today.
The one day convention on the theme, ‘save reservation’, was organised at Town Hall of Sub District, Nowshera in Rajouri by All India Confederation of SC/ST/OBC Organisations, unit Nowshera by its State Co-ordinator Sushil Kumar in which large number of people from SC/ ST/ OBC/ RBA/ ALC categories belonging to Sunderbani, Siot, Lamberi, Bagnoti, Hanjana, Dabbar, Jhanger, Nonial, Chowki Handan, Lam etc. participated.
State president RK Kalsotra accompanied by State leader Prithvi Raj Khokar, Iqbal Choudhary Nakshbandi, Dr Qasim Choundhary, Dr Manohar Singh Bist, SP Langeh, Mohan Snehi, Vishal Bist, Satish Syal and Som Bhardwaj discussed the issue and asked the community members to get ready to wage a struggle. Mr Kalsotra while addressing the gathering stressed that the reserved categories always have been targeted by the anti- SC/ST/OBC policies of the Government and anti-reservation group of the society.
Many time various anti-reservation SRO and rules floated by the bureaucracy created crisis for these communities time & again, which force the people of down trodden communities to come on roads. He further said that in the latest case State Government has failed to defend its Reservation Act in which the State High Court has struck down the reservation in promotion due to slackness of the State Government and its Law Department.
He stressed upon Govt to protect the rights of the reserve categories otherwise, people from the community would come out on the roads. He urged the Government to clear the backlog of posts by launching special drives for these categories.
