RS PURA, Oct 3: Taranjit Singh Tony, Congress leader and DDC Member Suchetgarh Constituency today demanded caste based census across the country to ensure social justice to OBCs, SCs and STs, as present set-up envisages policies without taking into consideration the needs of underprivileged segments of society.
While interacting with people of RS Pura, the Congress leader said that without ending the caste-blindness in the policy making it is near impossible to address the issues of OBCs, SCs and STs, and ensure social justice. He said that over seven decades have passed but the aforesaid communities never get what they deserved and now Bihar Government paving the way through caste-based census has acted as beacon of light for all making it necessary to emulate its prudent step in the entire country to deliver justice to OBCs, SCs and STs.
“Once a caste-based census would be conducted it would do away with the fuzziness and fluidity around the non-dominant castes within the OBCs and ultimately a substantial data reflecting the social reality of India’s lesser known precarious groups will be revealed out in the open”, he said adding that BJP is exploiting the OBCs and other classes in the name of Hindutva but on ground, its policies reflect the party’s discriminatory approach towards these segments of society.
He asked the Modi Government to follow the principle of ‘Jitni Jiski Bhagyadari Utni Uski Hissedari’ to ensure universal justice.
