Congress conspiring to usurp SC’s quota rights

BJP today accused the Centre of conspiring to usurp the rights for quota enjoyed by scheduled castes in the Constitution by sticking to its stand on including converted dalit Christians and Muslims in SC fold.

“The Congress-led UPA government is adamant to cover the converted minorities and Christians within the quota fixed for scheduled castes under the Constitution,” BJP general secretary T C Gehlot told reporters here.

Gehlot, also a member of the SC Reservation Rights protection Manch, said the organisation would conduct ‘Honour Constitution’ functions in every district in the state between November 26, 2009 and January 26, 2010 to “awaken the scheduled castes against the sinister design of the Congress”
