JAMMU: The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has issued a strong warning to the Jammu and Kashmir government, making it clear that any attempt to cut down the reservation benefits of Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBC) will not be tolerated. Addressing a press conference at the party office, BSP State President Darshan Rana slammed the alleged anti-reservation bill circulating on social media, terming it unconstitutional and anti-Dalit.He categorically stated that if such a bill is introduced in the assembly, the BSP will launch a massive statewide agitation and hold the government fully responsible for the consequences.

“J&K SC/ST/OBCs Already Deprived, No More Injustice!”

Darshan Rana highlighted that despite existing provisions, SC/ST/OBC communities in J&K are not getting their rightful share of reservations. Unlike other states, where OBCs are granted 27% reservation, J&K has failed to implement the same. Furthermore, the long-pending issue of reservation in promotions for government jobs remains unresolved, despite being under judicial consideration in the Hon’ble High Court.

The BSP leader accused the government of deliberately ignoring the rights of the backward and Dalit communities, warning that any dilution in reservation will spark a massive uprising.

BSP Ready for a Mass Movement!

Rana reaffirmed that the Bahujan Samaj Party has always fought for the oppressed and marginalized sections and will not hesitate to hit the streets if their rights are compromised.

He appealed directly to the J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to intervene and scrap any such move immediately, cautioning that failure to act will force the BSP to launch a full-scale protest. “We will not allow injustice! If our demands are ignored, we will take the fight to every street, every village, and every city of Jammu & Kashmir,” warned Darshan Rana. The BSP calls upon all SC/ST/OBC communities and supporters of social justice to remain vigilant and stand united against any attack on their constitutional rights.
