JAMMU, Jan 21: All India Backward Classes Union (AIBCU) held a meeting at Sunderbani under the chairmanship of Capt (retd) Balwant Raj in which Prof Kali Dass general secretary of the Union was the chief guest.
The meeting while highlighting the demands of the OBCs in the State expressed grave concern over the non implementation of 27 percent reservation for OBCs in the State as granted by Mandal Commission.
The meeting made an appeal to Prime Minster seeking justice for the OBCs of the State by implementing the Mandal Commission recommendations.
It said the J&K is the only State which has not implemented the recommendations leaving the members of the OBC community in a lurch.
It appealed the PM that the implementation of Mandal Commission recommendations be included in CMP of BJP and PDP so that the hapless people belonging to OBC category can seek justice.
