Bhubaneswar: BJD on Wednesday demanded a central law that empowers countries to eliminate 50% on reservations and conduct caste-based censuses for social and educational reverse classes (SEBC).
On the day of Rajya Sabha was debated and passed the 127th constitutional amendment bill which was intended to restore the rights of the state to decide on the list of their backup, the delegation of BJD parliamentarians met with Minister of Home Union Amit Shah and filed a memorandum to support their demands.
“Detailed scientific databases are very necessary in connection with the SEBC / OBC category for the formulation of accurate reservation policies for holistic development, welfare and increasing this population category,” said Memorandum by MPS BJD to Shah.
Shows that the Supreme Court and various high courts have hit a quota for OBC in the field that the policy was made without the scientific database of the OBC population, the regional parties demanded the appropriate column in the form of identification of their 2021 BJD said it would like to provide 27% ordering to Sebcs / OBC but The court has repeatedly hit the steps above the quota land exceeding 50%.
Odisha has passed the law in 2009 – Ordering Odisha Pos and Services (for social and educational backwards) ACT, 2008 – to provide a quota of 27% to the backward class.
The Orissa High Court hit it in June 2017 stating that the percentage of reservations as a whole could not exceed 50% in the existing scenario.
In the same place, HC in April 2018 stopped the country from ordering 50% of seats in the selection of urban local agencies for OBC.
Previously, participated in the debate of the OBC Bill in Rajya Sabha, BJD members Prasanna Acharya and Amar Patnaik suppressed the caste-based census and central law to ensure OBCS had a share of law and education.
“The court rejected the state law in the OBC quota because there was no scientific data about their number and status.
Our quarrel is that the caste-based census can overcome it,” Acharya said to Ti.
Amar said the true welfare of OBC can only occur after being known “for whom” and “for how many”.
“While the first requires the caste and enumeration census, the latter might require a 50% ceiling violation.
Naveen Patnaik has acted well on both.
We are the first in this country to begin our enumeration.
We also want the central law to empower the country to break the sky – The sky as SC (in the case of Indira Sawney) has set the ceiling and does not want to visit again, “said Amar.
Responding to BJD, Education Minister Union Dharmendra Pradhan said when HC hit Odisha’s law, no one prevented him from going to the Supreme Court.
“You (the BJD government) only have pretensions.
Fifty-two percent of people in Odisha are included in the backward class.
Only Lord Jagannath who knows what is in your mind,” Pradhan said while participating in the debate about the OBC Bill above the house.
Pradhan said, “When the recommendation of the Mandal Commission on the quota was applied in the 1990s, then the Odisha government, led by Biju Patnaik, has transferred the Supreme Court to him.
Now BJD leaders say they want to raise quotas, but their hands are bound.” Previously, Odisha and Maharashtra have asked the center to count sebcs in the census.
Odisha has started OBC’s own enumeration after the center rejected his request.
Odisha: BJD is looking for law to end the 50% limit on the quota, demanding the caste-based census
