Government to move Supreme Court for Dalit/ST quota in promotion: Paswan

India TV News  

Stepping up its Dalit outreach, the BJP-led NDA government will now push for reservation for schedules castes and tribes in promotion in government jobs and may bring an ordinance. Union minister and BJP ally Ram Vilas Paswan, who has emerged as the government's key spokesperson on Dalit issues, told reporters that the government will move the apex court for the repeal of its directions which, he added, have halted the reservation for these communities in promotion. Paswan, who is a member of a group of ministers constituted for issues involving these communities, said the government is open to bringing an ordinance but will first move the apex court. Paswan said the court has ruled in favour of reservation for SCs and STs in promotion but also introduced several conditions, which have led to non-implementation of quota guidelines. The NDA government had recently filed a review plea in the apex court against its order on the Schedules Castes and Scheduled Tribes Act and also a Special Leave Petition against a decision that has led to fall in the number of seats reserved for SC and ST candidates in universities.
