The Youth for Equality, Odisha on Sunday organised a youth rally here demanding repealing of the ‘caste-based reservation’ system at all levels. A large number of school and college students and intellectuals joined the rally and viewed on how students and job aspirants belonging to General and OBC categories are suffering due the reservation system.
“Talented students are being deprived of getting admissions in colleges and getting Government jobs and ever are paying more amounts of fees for competitive exams,” said participants.
They demanded that the SC, ST, SEBC and Others categories should be repealed to bring equality in the constitutional system of the country. They said if the system is not abolished soon, a mass movement would take place in coming days.
Among others, Youth for Equality, Odisha members like Milan Kumar Pradhan, Dinabandhu Sarangi, Manoranjan Dash and All India Equality Forum’s Bhagirathi Mahasuar, Rudrasena’s Shubhransu Satpathy and Janamagal Parishad’s Alekh Chandra Jena attended the rally.
