'Those D4 People Are Enjoying Themselves...', Jitan Ram Manjhi Against Bharat Bandh | ABP News

In response to the Supreme Court's recent decision on the creamy layer in SC-ST reservations, various Dalit organizations across the country have announced a shutdown on August 21. The Supreme Court stated that the creamy layer should be excluded from Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes reservation, a move opposed by the Reservation Protection Struggle Committee. Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has declared his opposition to the Bharat Bandh. The decision has sparked significant controversy, with critics arguing that excluding the creamy layer undermines the original intent of the reservation system designed to support the most disadvantaged members of these communities. The bandh aims to protest against this judicial recommendation and advocate for the protection of existing reservation policies.
