KOZHIKODE: Welcoming the United Democratic Front (UDF) Government's
initiatives on the reservation issue, the National Development Front
(NDF), which has been campaigning for promoting the interests of the
backward classes, has put off a protest march it planned on the issue.
In a statement here on Saturday, NDF general secretary Nasaruddin
Elamaram welcomed the Government's recent decision to ensure that
further denial of reservation benefits would not happen.
However, it
objected to the decision to provide 10 per cent reservation for poorer
sections among forward communities and expressed disappointment over
the absence of initiative to clear the backlog in recruitment.
The NDF leadership will give more time to the ruling and Opposition
parties to do whatever remains to done to ensure adequate reservation
benefits for minorities and backward communities.
NDF's supreme council, its top decision-making body, expressed surprise
at the readiness with which the Left Democratic Front (LDF) had
welcomed the decision to provide 10 per cent reservation for poor
members of forward communities.
He reminded all political parties that backward communities were against economic reservation even in the education sector. |
