Unfortunate

It is unfortunate that anti-reservation protests have once again broken out in the capital against the Government's move to table the bill on reservation for OBCs in higher education. The Government is only seeking to enforce the fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution for the uplift of the backward sections. While OBCs constitute over 60 per cent of the population, the Government is extending only 27 per cent reservation. The striking medicos should remember that if pro-reservationists join issue with them, the situation will escalate.

The Government is going ahead with reservation in utter disregard of the views of many. It is bent on dividing the country further on the basis of caste.
