Himachal News/Implement 85th Constitutional Amendment in Himachal over Reservation in promotions for SCs & STs categories: Gachli

Dharamsala, November 26, 2013: “It is very unfortunate that there has been a controversy in the HP State over Reservation in promotions in the services to the SCs & STs categories of employees, which is duly provided in the Constitution of India,” said ex-MLA Chaman Lall Gachli who is also the National Secretary, Bharatiya Dalit Sahitya Akademi, Parwanoo (H.P).
In a statement issued here, he said that this reservation  has been strengthened by the Parliament by passing the 85th Amendment to the Constitution, and has been further thrashed and examined by the Highest Court of the Nation to be genuine right of these categories.
He said that It is highly regretted that the previous HP Government kept away from implementing this 85th Amendment to defeat the genuine cause of social justice despite the fact that all justice loving agencies including all organisations belonging to SCs & STs Categories firmly stood by this genuine cause and vigorously pursued the matter with the Govt. and thus the government encouraged opposition to this genuine cause.
 “Therefore, it has become essential for the present Virbhadra Singh headed  Congress Government of HP State, to do justice by implementing the 85th Amendment to maintain and restore the faith of these categories, and also  ensure sincere justice all pending back log posts be also filled-up categorically,” said Gachli.
