Rajasthan Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rajendra Rathore on Sunday said a circular mandating one per cent reservation to the Gujjar community will be released soon.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting with a delegation of the Gujjar Aarakshan Sangharsh Samiti, he also said the Government has withdrawn 203 criminal cases lodged against the community members during the Gujjar Aandolan.
He said the members of the Samiti were satisfied with the meeting in which issues related to the Devnarayan Scheme, the Gurukul Aawas Yojna and the withdrawal of cases lodged during the Gujjar Aandolan were discussed.
Details on Rs 1,000 crore spent on the Devnarayan Scheme during BJP Government’s tenure was also made available to the representatives of the delegation, he said.
Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Arun Chaturvedi, who is also a member of parliamentary sub-committee, said the circular on the reservation could not be issued earlier due to legal hurdles.
