Seeking implementation of the Supreme Court order striking down the consequential seniority in promotions awarded by the State Government for SC/ST employees since 1978, over 1,000 members of Ahimsa Vedike, Mysuru wing, took out a rally from Kote Anjaneyaswamy Temple to the DC’s office here this morning.
The members alleged that the Supreme Court order has been misinterpreted by a few people and misleading the public that the Apex Court has cancelled reservation for SC/ST for promotions. They contended that they were not against the reservation policy provided it was well within the maximum limit of 18%.
The members later submitted a memorandum to the DC.
Vedike Hon. President K.N. Chandrashekar, President M.K. Nanjaiah, Secretary K. Govindaiah, Treasurer P. Mallanna, Bengaluru unit President N. Nagaraj, Secretary Ravi, District Brahmana Sangha President D.T. Prakash and others led the rally.
