| General Category People's Front holds meeting | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 9: General Category People's Front (GCPF) held its meeting today under the chairmanship of Raj Kumar Banathia, Chairman of the Front. The members of the Front deliberated upon the socio-economic and political policies of the government.
Addressing the meeting Prof. Yash Paul Sanson, President of the Front alleged that general category people (Swarn castes) have been facing persistent neglect and deprivation due facilitation of illegal continuation of caste based discrimination, restricting the application of basic fundamental rights of majority. Sanson demanded total review of existing reservation policy which has been turned irrelevant as it is too old to continue. The socio-economic and political atmosphere of the country has changed.
Som Nath Sharma, General Secretary appealed to the government to end temporary and transitory arrangement of reservation which was for initial 10 years and initiate legal and constitutional steps to change the negative perception about general category people and provide them equal opportunities, equal rights and equal participation in public life. He demanded scrapping of all contradictory rules and provisions of reservations, which undermined the principles of equality, justice, liberty and dignity.
V K Sharma Vice President said that downfall of Indian economy and closure of factories, price rise and unemployment in the country is the result of faulty economic policies of the government. Spike in prices of essential commodities has caused a lot of heart-ache for common man. The people are facing economic hardships because of Tax-terrorism launched by the government. Government has failed to understand the pulse of the people; its results will be very serious as well as dangerous for the government, he said.
