Jammu : Jammu Warriors Front (JWF) Chairman Rajesh Gupta on Tuesday demanded census/survey of OBCs at national level.
In a statement issued by the JWF, Gupta said, “The party demands that census/survey of OBC (Other Backward Castes) at the national level be conducted. The anti-reservationists who deny this are the same casteist-minded people who continuously conspire to make the reservation of SC and ST categories inactive and ineffective and do not even fill the backlog of their reservation.”
“Due to this reason, there is no role of the people of the ‘SC/ ST’ community in policy framing. It is necessary to change this extremely saddening and worrisome situation,” he said.
“But how can the destiny of the ‘OBCS’ community be formed and improved by relying on casteist, communal and narrow-minded people for such a change? It is not possible to trust them anymore,” the JWF chief said.
Rajesh Gupta on Tuesday said in view of the Lok Sabha elections, casteist and anti-reservation parties/elements, especially the BJP and the Congress are in a race these days to project themselves as the new well-wishers of the OBC community for votes of the bahujans.
“But the struggle for welfare of Dalits and tribals as well as OBCs and religious minorities, who are a special part of the ‘bahujan’ community, and their constitutional rights, was more than anyone else after Baba Saheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar,” he said.
“The JWF movement is now facing a lot of challenges from the casteist, narrow-minded, communal, capitalist and anti-poor forces. Apart from their immense wealth and misuse of resources, their tactics of ‘saam’, ‘daam’, ‘dand’, ‘bhed’ can be countered by the JWF.
