Divisive step, says Ratan Tata
New Delhi:
Severely criticising the proposed move to introduce reservation in top educational institutions, the Tata Group chairman Ratan Tata on Friday warned the Government that such a policy would ``divide'' the country.
Mr. Tata, who headed the Investment Commission, set up by the United Progressive Alliance regime, termed as ``bad'' the move to introduce reservation in IITs, IIMs and other education institutes and even opposed the move for job reservation in the private sector.
``Though I do not want to comment on it, it (reservation) is bad... In some way, it will tend to divide the country into different groups,'' he said.
While uplift of socially backward classes is important, merit is an important aspect and should not be compromised on, he said. — PTI
