Agencies Posted: Dec 21, 2009 at 1933 hrs

Patna The Bihar Assembly today unanimously ratified the 109th
Amendment Bill of the Constitution, 2009 aimed at extending the
reservation for SC and ST by another ten years.

Chief minister Nitish Kumar moved the resolution and said there was no
doubt that the scheduled caste and scheduled tribes have made
considerable progress in the last 60 years and as the Bill extending
the reservation period was in the interest of SC/ST, the House should
unanimously support the Bill.

Other states should also accept the Bill that was aimed at improving
the conditions of the SCs and STS, he said.

He said the nomination of Anglo-Indians as member of the House would
continue for another ten years.
