Avadheshpuri Maharaj supports scrapping of reservation
Dr. Avadheshpuri Maharaj has written to PM Naren-dra Modi asking him to re-view the current reservation policy. He wrote that MLA’s MP’s, Government servants are taking benefits of the policy and those who are actually deprived are still far from utilising these benefits. He expressed that creamy layer should be excluded from the policy and benefits of reservation should be given to the needy section of population without any discrimilization on caste, class, colour and race etc.
