Hoshiarpur- Issuing a press statement, Balbir Singh Fuglana, President of Doaba General Category Front Punjab said that after the independence of our country, the government formed to improve the condition of the backward classes of the society and to make them compatible with the times had implemented the reservation system in the country, under which the process of providing the necessary opportunities for progress to the Dalits and people belonging to the backward classes of the society by giving them the benefit of reservation was started.
This system is still continuing, but with the passage of time it has come to light that the current system of reservation has not been able to achieve its real purpose and even after 78 years of independence, the backward classes and Dalits of the society have not been able to get the benefits due to it. This is because this system is based on its own principles. In the initial phase, it was limited only to those families who got its benefit and there was no significant improvement in the condition of the rest of the people.
During this period, the condition of the rest of the society also changed and as the economic condition of the general category people worsened, the demand for reservation from the general category also gained momentum. In this regard, various organizations of the general category have been repeatedly demanding from the government for a long time that reservation should be given on economic basis instead of caste basis in government jobs, because there are many people among the backward classes and Dalits who are financially very strong and despite owning property worth crores, they are continuously taking advantage of reservation and on the other hand, the poor people belonging to the general category do not get any such facility, due to which the problems of the poor people of the general category are increasing a lot, which is a big setback for the general category.
Doaba General Category Front Punjab and general organizations with similar ideology are constantly struggling with the government regarding these problems. The ministers and MLAs of the government have also submitted a memorandum to the Honorable Governor regarding these demands, but the government has not paid any heed to it. The AAP government is deliberately not appointing the Chairman of the General Commission appointed by the previous Congress government. Due to the misuse of this reservation, injustice is being done to the children of general category on the basis of merit in schools, colleges and universities.
This is the reason why children are getting inclined towards foreign countries. In the coming days, Doaba General Category Front Punjab and all like-minded organizations will burn the effigies of the government at all district headquarters and the entire general category will be mobilized.
