NEW DELHI : The Leader of Opposition L.K. Advani on Sunday suggested setting up of a specialist committee to study the impact of reservation and examine alternative remedies for affirmative action which would not undermine merit or excellence. Addressing a gathering here after naming a park in Gulmohar Park, in memory of Hindi poet Gopal Prasad Vyas, he said merit and excellence should not be undermined while addressing the legitimate concerns of sections of society that have lagged behind for centuries. Referring to the nation-wide agitation by medical students against the move to hike reservation for OBCs in institutions of higher learning, he said: "One should not forget that India today commands respect in the world not just because of its high growth rate, but also because it has established itself as a knowledge-society. This has happened because of institutions where excellence is honoured.''
