Internal reservation among Scheduled Castes opposed

April 27, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:43 am IST - KALABURAGI:

A federation of the Banjara, the Bhovi, the Korava and the Korcha communities would stage a protest on Wednesday here expressing opposition to the A.J. Sadashiva Commission’s recommendation to introduce internal reservation among the Scheduled Castes.

The former minister Revu Naik Belamagi and the former member of the zilla panchayat Subhash Rathod, addressing presspersons here on Sunday, said that the federation would organise a rally ‘Shoshita Etka Nadige’ from Nehru Gunj to the Deputy Commissioner’s office and submit a memorandum to urge the government to reject the recommendations of the commission.

Mr. Belamagi said that the communities which are in small number among Scheduled Castes will be subjected to further marginalisation if the recommendations are implemented.
