He was speaking at a meeting in Vijaypur in which OBC members of the Party were present.
During meeting, the leaders discussed the present political situation and the granting of 8 per cent reservation to OBCs in J&K and termed it injustice with the community.

He said that reservation quota for OBCs must be enhanced up to 27 per cent in J&K as is there in other States.
