Reservation policy facing peril after BJP came to power: DMK President M K Stalin

DMK President M K Stalin on Monday alleged that policy of providing reservation was facing peril ever since BJP assumed office at Centre.

Slamming saffron party, Dravidian party chief claimed that Ministers at Centre and Sangh Parivar outfits were airing views against giving quotas and alleged it had led to many a confusion and landed country in a tight spot.

Stalin, in a Facebook post, urged Centre to take appropriate steps to ensure that reservation for Backward, Most Backward, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes were protected and social justice upheld.

Supreme Court had said that states are t bound to provide reservation in appointments and re is fundamental right to claim quota in promotions.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said it is in DNA of BJP and RSS to try and erase reservations and asserted that his party will t allow doing away with quota.
