RSS supports reservation: Bhagwat

  • | Thursday | 20th September, 2018

The RSS fully supports reservation provided for in the Constitution and will continue to do so,” he said in reply to a question. Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Wednesday that reservation provided for in the Constitution should stay till the groups benefiting from quotas think these were required. That statement itself was reminiscent of a resolution on reservation passed by the Sangh’s top decision-making body, Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha, in 1981. It is our duty,” Mr. Bhagwat said. “The Constitution provides for equality of opportunity in the form of reservations to remove social disparity.

The RSS fully supports reservation provided for in the Constitution and will continue to do so,” he said in reply to a question. “Till when should reservation last, is a decision that only those for whom it has been mandated can take.” This outreach on the final day of his three-day lecture series here marked a contrast with his statement in September 2015, just before the Bihar polls, when he had called for an apolitical committee to examine who all needed reservation and for how long. That statement itself was reminiscent of a resolution on reservation passed by the Sangh’s top decision-making body, Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha, in 1981. “One organ of our society is weak because of historical reasons. We have to strengthen it. It is our duty,” Mr. Bhagwat said.
