DMK, DK oppose quota for upper castes

25/08/2019, SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT,CHENNAI

Political leaders on Saturday came out strongly against the 10% reservation for economically weaker sections among the upper castes.

Dravidar Kazhagam president K. Veeramani said the upper caste poor had been provided a higher annual income ceiling than for other castes when it came to reservation. “This is based on economic conditions, which is against the very idea of reservation in the Constitution,” he said. He was speaking at a function organised by the All India Federation of Other Backward Classes Employees’ Welfare Associations to felicitate MPs nominated to the Parliamentary Committee for the welfare of OBCs.

DMK leader T.K.S. Elangovan said the reservation was an attempt to deny rights to the OBCs.
