SC-ST Quota Within Quota: Violence Erupts Between Supporters And Police In Jehanabad | ABP News

Dalit organizations have called for a nationwide strike in response to the Supreme Court's recommendation on SC-ST reservation quotas. The JMM, RJD, and BSP have backed the protest. Protesters argue against sub-categorization within SC-ST reservations and the implementation of a creamy layer within these communities. The Supreme Court's recent ruling suggested that reservation classifications might be necessary, citing that some sub-castes are in a more disadvantaged state. The court advised that statistical evidence of backwardness should be provided before allocating special benefits to particular castes. Additionally, LJP leader Ram Vilas Paswan has supported the strike, and Union Minister Chirag Paswan announced that his party will participate in the protest.
