Gurjar community to continue protests for 5% reservation in jobs, educational institutions in Rajasthan

31 May 2013 Evaluate

Gurjar community will continue its protests for five per cent reservation in jobs and educational institutions in Rajasthan. Rajasthan government is in favour of reservation for the Gurjar community but needed some time as the matter was sub-judice.

The agitation led by the Attar Singh Bhadana is expected to march from Jaipur to Delhi. The Rajasthan government had in earlier November 2012 given five per cent reservation to Gurjars. Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gahlot's government gave the reservation to Gurjars under the Special Backward Classes (SBC) category without tampering with the quota for any other caste.

The Gehlot government also announced the setting up of the Economic Backward Classes Commission to pacify upper castes who have been demanding 14 per cent reservation for themselves.
