JAMMU, Nov 14: All J&K Kshatriya Yuva Saini Sabha (KYSS) led by its president Suksham Singh today met J&K BJP president, Ravinder Raina and apprised him of the forcible inclusion of Saini community in the list of reserved castes which was not acceptable to the community members at any cost.
President All J&K Saini Sabha, Pritam Singh also accompanied the delegation.
Suksham Singh apprised the J&K BJP president that the Saini community is well off and the community youth has never approached the Government for reservation purposes.
“We, Saini community strongly rejected this decision to include Saini (Kshatriya) community of J&K into this reserved category,” he said, adding “Saini community of J&K U.T doesn’t satisfy even a single indicator out of eleven indicators of backwardness specified by Mandal Commission Report. This is clear violation of Constitution as well as it hurts the sentiments of Saini community.”
Suksham Singh said that Saini community is a prosperous and economically strong community with high literacy rate, that too above national average literacy rate. Majority population of the community is already serving in Government sector, private sector and armed forces at respectable positions, thereby contradicting the belief that Sainis’ are economically, educationally and socially backward, he added.
