TAMBRAS decision in a week

By Our Staff Reporter

VELLORE, MARCH 18. The Tamil Nadu Brahmins Association (TAMBRAS) will take a decision on which electoral front it should support at its executive committee meeting to be held in Tiruchi on March 24 and 25, Mr. N. Narayanan, State president, said on Sunday.

Talking to newspersons after the general council meeting of the Vellore district unit, Mr. Narayanan said he had been given an appointment by the AIADMK general secretary, Ms.Jayalalitha, for Tuesday to discuss the demands of the TAMBRAS. The association would support that front which wholly or partially at least accepted its demands.

The association wanted any party or front forming the next government to provide at least one post of Cabinet minister to a Brahmin.

Its other demands were adequate representation to the community in the Assembly, reservation for forward communities in education as well as employment in Tamil Nadu and introduction of a second shift in all government and aided colleges.
