Rajasthan Gujjars seek 5% quota in SBC category
TNN | Nov 21, 2011, 05.07AM IST
JAIPUR: Gujjars have threatened to march to the state capital in the
next two days if the Ashok Gehlot government doesn't address their
demand for 5% reservation under the Special Backward Classes (SBC)
category.
At a mahapanchayat at Bhandarez village in Dausa district on Sunday,
the Gujjars said they would give two days to the state government to
resolve the issue, else they would march to Jaipur and hold a rally at
Ambedkar Circle.
"We have decided to hold a sit-in at Bhandarez village for the next
two days to give some time to the state government. After this we will
march to Jaipur to hold a mahapanchayat," said Himmat Singh Gujjar,
spokesman of Gujjar Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti over phone from
Bhandarez.
Kirori Singh Bainsla, who spearheaded the Gujjar agitation in 2007,
said, "We have given ample time to the state government. Now either it
releases our 5% reservation under Special Backward Classes or stop
recruitment in the state services. The Congress government in the
state has betrayed the Gujjar community."
Bainsla said, "On January 5, the state government had asked for six
months to complete the survey for 5% reservation. Though it was
completed on July 5, still the government extended it till November
30. This is totally unacceptable."
