Orissa SC, ST body protests exploitation
Tuesday, June 29, 2010 Email StoryFeedbackPrint Story
Bhubaneswar: The Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST)
organizations in the state on Monday held a massive protest rally at
the PMG Square near the State Assembly here.
They alleged that the SCs and STs in the state have been exploited,
oppressed and meted out sheer injustice for the last 10 years in
various ways.
Demanding the revocation of the controversial circular allegedly
abolishing the state implemented SC/ST reservations, despite being in
force, the conglomeration spurned the stance standing in way of
regularization of about two crore SC/ST candidates in the garb of the
contractual appointments.
They also demanded implementation of the 38 per cent reservation, in
effect since 2006, for the SC/ST students in the educational
institutions and implementation of the statutory reservations as per
the 77 Constitutional Amendment till the supertime scale.
Two SC/ST members should represent each in the Staff Selection
Commission (SSC) and the Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC), they
added. The reservation law should also be implemented in the MoU inked
by the state for industrialization and in the ongoing privatization
spree.
As the 20 lakh Sabar, Sahar and Saar are synonymous, they all must be
treated in the scheduled list and should not be divested of reaping
the special benefits entitled to them by the state.
It was also demanded that, the 29 senior SC/ST officers deprived of
promotion from the desk officer post to the under secretary post in
the State Secretariat should be given justice soon.
Among others, Odisha SC/ST Legislature Council general secretary and
former MLA Sura Sethy, former Union minister Bhajamana Behera, state
RPI president Sheikh Abdul Walli and Employees' Welfare Council
general secretary Narayan Chandra Das also spoke.
