I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at JAMMU: Accusing the Congress of ignoring the recommendations of multiple Commissions for the welfare of the OBC community during the previous Congress governments, Sunil Prajapati, said that the Congress governments opposed caste census since Independence.
Congress severely harmed the interests of OBCs and other communities. This caste Census will go a long way in ending the injustice done with the needy population of these communities.
This was stated by Sunil Prajapati, President, OBC Morcha, J&K BJP, while addressing a Press Conference at party headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu. Suresh Salgotra, Vice President, OBC Morcha, Anil Balgotra, Secretary, OBC Morcha and Ashok Salgotra, District President OBC Morcha Jammu were also present in the press conference.
Sunil Prajapati, while addressing the media persons, accused the Congress governments of opposing caste census for decades. He said that the Caste was not included in all the census operations conducted since independence.
In 2010, then Prime Minister Late Dr Manmohan Singh ji had assured the Lok Sabha that the matter of caste census would be considered in the Cabinet. A Group of Ministers was formed to consider this subject. Most of the political parties had recommended caste census. Despite this, the Congress government decided to conduct only a survey instead of a caste census, which was known as SECC.
Sunil Prajapati rued that Congress and its INDI alliance partners have used Caste Census only as a political tool to misguide the Indian population. Some states have conducted surveys to enumerate castes. Some states have done this well, while some others have conducted such surveys purely from a political angle in a non-transparent way, which have created doubts in society.
Sunil Prajapati also stated that OBCs of Jammu Kashmir were even not granted the reservation under OBC category and provided mere 2% reservation under Social Caste (OSC) Category, while 20% OBC reservation quota was inadvertently provided to the people of certain specific unconstitutional categories under National Conference rule.
Considering all these facts, and to ensure that our social fabric is not disturbed by politics, caste enumeration should be transparently included in the Census instead of surveys. This will strengthen the social and economic structure of our society while the nation continues to progress.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modiji, the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs, has decided that caste enumeration should be included in the forthcoming Census. This demonstrates that our government is committed to the values and interests of our society and country.
