Govt rules out having a relook at reservation system

NEW DELHI: The Government today ruled out having a relook at the reservation system in the country.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley also ruled out sub- categorisation of scheduled castes on the lines of OBCs.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat had in September, 2015 pitched for a review of the reservation policy, contending it has been used for political ends and suggested setting up of an apolitical committee to examine who needs the facility and for how long.

“Neither there is any proposal before the Government, nor would there be a proposal (before it in the future),” Jaitley told a press conference on cabinet decisions. (AGENCIES)
