Paswan insists reservation should focus on social factors, not economic.
Union Minister Chirag Paswan has voiced his concerns regarding a recent 'purification' ritual conducted at a Congress rally in Uttarakhand, led by party president Mallikarjun Kharge. He highlighted that while the Congress party has raised issues about ongoing discrimination faced by Dalits, it is essential to reflect on their own historical role in addressing these injustices. Paswan emphasized that if discrimination persists, it indicates a failure on the part of those who have held power for decades.
In addition, Paswan argued that discussions surrounding reservation should be rooted in social discrimination rather than economic perspectives. He challenged those advocating for changes to the reservation framework to present their proposals in Parliament, reinforcing the notion that the basis of reservation is fundamentally linked to social issues. The controversy surrounding the ritual has sparked significant debate, especially in light of Rahul Gandhi's criticisms of the BJP's involvement in caste-based practices.
