Cong hits back at Dhankhar, flags Rahul's caste census, removal of 50% cap on reservations demands
Jagdeep Dhankhar for his apparent attack on Rahul Gandhi over his remarks on reservation, the Congress on Sunday asked the Vice President who he supports, «the One adamently refusing to conduct a caste census or the one championing» the demand for it.
The opposition party's jibe came after Dhankhar said, «A person from a constitutional post saying on foreign land that reservation should be ended underscores the same anti-constitutional mindset. The baton of prejudices against reservation has been handed over. It is the same old anti-constitutional mindset.»
«Reservation is not against meritocracy, but it is the soul of the country and the Constitution. It is an affirmative action and not negative. It is not depriving someone of opportunity but hand holding those who are pillars of strength of the society,» the vice president said addressing a public event in Mumbai.
Tagging a post On Dhankhar's attack on Gandhi, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, «I would ask this constitutional authority who he supports — the One who is adamantly refusing to conduct a caste census or the one who is forcefully championing caste census & removal of the 50% cap on reservations for SCs, STs & OBCs?»
Reacting to Dhankhar's remarks, Congress' media and publicity department head Pawan Khera said on X, «Mr Rahul Gandhi has demanded removal of the 50% limit on reservations for SC/STs & OBCs. Do you support this demand of the Congress, Mr @VPIndia?»
