Backward Class panel’s tenure extended, PMK calls it DMK’s drama
CHENNAI: The state government has extended the time limit for the Backward Classes Commission by one more year to submit its report on the demands for internal reservation within MBCs and Denotified Communities. The commission has been given the additional term of reference in November, 2022, which said, “The commission shall examine the demands for internal reservation within the MBCs and Denotified Communities in the light of observations made by the Supreme Court in its judgement dated March 31, 2022.” The commission was requested to submit its report in three months. Strongly objecting to the extension, PMK founder S Ramadoss described it a ‘drama’ jointly enacted by the commission and the state to deny social justice to Vanniyars. Since the DMK government is not ready for conducting caste census on its own, on what basis the commission would gather the necessary information for reservation for Vanniyars,” Ramadoss said.
