Constitution amendment for SC/ ST Quota Bill if required: PM

22 Aug 2012 Evaluate
The all-party meet called in by the government on Tuesday evening, for providing reservation in job promotions to SCs/STs, had failed miserably to arrive at a consensus, upon the opposition raised by BJP and has demanded for the disclosure of the bill before taken into consideration.

Even though, the bill is deferred for now, as the government is in favor of reservation for the SC and the ST in jobs, if needed a constitution amendment would be brought into effect, speaking on quota in promotions Prime Minister said. It is only the Samajwadi Party, who opposes the proposal, stating that though the reservation of jobs for SC/ST and OBC candidates was fine but reservations in promotions may be a very problematic move.

Though, the government is committed to bring the constitutional amendment that would be technically and legally sound, the Prime Minister will bring the issue to Parliament, and pass the amendment without any delay.
