Lok Sabha Debate: SP supports move, Congress doubts govt's intentions

The Government this afternoon introduced a bill in Lok Sabha that seeks to amend the Constitution to provide 10 per cent reservation in jobs and educational institutions to economically backward section in the general category. Addressing the House, FM Arun Jaitley said, "Reservation has been created to give equality of opportunity to each citizen. Quota Bill provides social and economic justice to economically weaker sections." He urged Congress, its allies and Communist parties to support the bill wholeheartedly and not grudgingly.
