The demand to get the benefit of reservation to the converted Scheduled Castes is not only anti-constitutional and anti-national but also an open robbery on the rights of the Scheduled Castes. Surendra Jain, Joint General Secretary of Vishwa Hindu Parishad said that missionaries and clerics repeat this time and again that there is no discrimination on the basis of caste in their religion and no one remains backward after accepting their religion. Is.
Dr. Jain said that Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi had agreed on reservation for Scheduled Castes in 1932 while making the Poona Pact. Unfortunately, since 1936, missionaries and clerics have been raising the demand for reservation for the converted scheduled society from the road to the Parliament. In 1936, Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Ambedkar had justified this demand as unreasonable. When this demand was raised again in the Constituent Assembly, Dr. Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution, rejected it, proving it to be anti-national.
Late Jawaharlal Nehru and late Indira Gandhi had also termed this demand as unreasonable. In 1995, a 10-day dharna was organized in Delhi by the missionaries on this demand, in which the late Mother Teresa, who is considered the flag bearer of social equality and service, participated. The VHP leader alleged that his persistence despite repeated rejections proved that international converting powers were working behind him.
Dr Surendra Jain told that he has been going to the judiciary after being repeatedly rejected by the Constituent Assembly and Parliament and the judiciary has also been rejecting his unreasonable demand. In 1985, in the case “Susai and others against the Government of India”, the Hon’ble Supreme Court had given a clear direction that the demand for reservation for the converted Scheduled Castes is contrary to the basic spirit of the Constitution. Despite this, in 2004, once again went to the judiciary, which is still pending.
Dr Jain warned that if this illegitimate demand was accepted, it would lead to an intensification of illegal conversion activities, with “crypto Christians” coming to the fore. The dangers of population imbalance will increase and the Scheduled Castes for whom reservation has been made will be deprived of it. VHP will run a nationwide public awareness campaign against this anti-national demand.
Former Justice Pawan Kumar, President of Valmiki Maha Sabha, warned Christian missionaries and clerics that their efforts to rob the rights of Scheduled Castes would not be successful. This conspiracy of missionaries and clerics is anti-national and anti-constitutional. This conspiracy of his will definitely be countered at every level.
