Recently, I came to know that Arjun Singh (HRD Minister, India) does not even know the actual percentage of OBC people in India but he wants at least 27% reservation for them. When asked this question, he shamelessly replied, “I don’t know the actual number but I think it is quite big and I leave it to people to decide”.
Today’s headlines say that Government’s decision was final for providing 27% reservation for OBC in Government institutes. Government has given notices to doctors, who have been on strike, to vacate the hostels at AIIMS and other medical institutes. Government has expelled these doctors because of their agitation against the reservation, whereas, doctors have said that they will never get back unless Government changes its decision.
What a pathetic Government it is, where they don’t listen to the requests of the people, where they don’t know why they are doing something. They take decisions if their own interests are getting fulfilled. It is like an oligarchy where the selected few take their decisions without peoples’ consent. And still they say it is democracy. Actually it is Government’s hypocrisy.
I sincerely appreciate the courage and determination of the people who are fighting against these caste-biased policies of Government and I wish them good luck.
