BSP protest in RS against ''anti-dalit'' govt policies
New Delhi, Sep 7 (PTI) BSP members today created noisy scenes in the
Rajya Sabha today after HRD Minister Kapil Sibal said there was
reservation in admission for students of reserved categories in
institutes of national importance, but no such provision existed in
the appointment of faculty.
Sibal made the remark in the Rajya Sabha during a discussion on the
Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing,
Kancheepuram Bill, 2011, triggering acrimonious exchanges between the
treasury benches and BSP.
Soon, BSP members rushed into the well, raising slogans against the
Government for its "anti-dalit" policies, forcing adjournment of the
House for 30 minutes.
The BSP members were supported by their RJD and LJP counterparts.
The trouble started when Jesudasu Seelam (Cong) demanded reservation
for SC/ST and OBC students after the Bill was moved by the HRD
Minister.
Seelam was immediately joined by BSP members, who raised the issue of
reservation in institutes of national importance, including the IITs,
saying that the reserved categories had negligible representation in
such institutes.
BSP leader S C Mishra pointed out that out of a total of 478 faculty
members in IIT Delhi, there was only one member belonging to the
reserved category.
