JAMMU, Sept 2: All India Backward Classes Union (Social) has taken serious note of the Congress stance at its recently held convention at Hotel Ashok in Jammu in which AICC general secretary Ambika Soni was chief guest.
In a meeting of the Union held here today, it was pointed out that the State Congress under the presidentship of Prof Saif-ud-Din Soz has five resolutions but failed to raise the issue of reservation to the OBCs in the State. This proves that Prof Soz has been doing false propaganda deliberated against the State OBCs and alluring the State OBCs on the name of OBCs Advisory and Development Board, a useless machine yielding nothing for the OBC community.
It is again surprising that despite taking up the issue by Vice Chairman of the OBCs’ Advisory Board, Master Kuldip Raj Verma with Mrs Soni at State Guest House on August 30, the matter of reservation for the State OBCs was not taken up in the convention. All the speakers in the meeting stressed for providing 27 % reservation to the OBCs as recommended by Mandal Commission.
They also condemned the attitude of the State Government for its indifferent attitude towards the OBCs. They also appealed the members of the community to boycott the National Conference and Congress for working against the interests of the OBC community members. Prominent among those present in the meeting included Prof Kalidas, Mohd Iqbal, Khadim Hussain, Puran Chargotra, H D Betab, Abdul Razaq, Santosh Chand and Swarn Singh.
