Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) chief and Nagina MP Chandrashekhar on Tuesday demanded a caste census, saying it will ensure social justice to the people of deprived classes.
Participating in a debate on the Motion of Thanks on President’s address in the Lok Sabha, Aazad said social justice will be possible “only when caste census is done and reservation for deprived classes will be increased based on their numbers”.
He demanded that the short-term army recruitment scheme, Agniveer, be scrapped. “The President’s address says nothing on giving reservation to the SC, ST and OBCs classes in the private sector,” Chandrashekhar added and called for the restoration of the old pension scheme.
He also said the BJP’s slogan of “sabka saath-sabka vikas” was “hollow” because “atrocities happened on Dalits, backwards, tribals, Muslims” and other religious minorities in past 10 years are not hidden.
