The Indian Constitution has many provisions to lend a helping hand to the marginalised people in the country. Providing reservations to the communities for education, employment, and others is one of them. Many people benefited from this provision. However, the general category candidates missing out on opportunities became a big concern.
To address the concern among the general category candidates, the Union Government proposed a quota of 10 percent for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) in admissions to educational institutions and government jobs. This move raised many concerns as the opposition parties and others allege that the marginalised communities would face issues.
Citing the same, a bunch of petitions were filed with the Supreme Court and the top court gave its verdict just a while ago. The five-justice bench led by Chief Justice India Uday Umesh Lalit heard the petitions and said the quota won’t violate the equality code and upheld the quota law.
Three justices supported the law and said the existing quota will not hinder the benefits of others, while two justices had a few reservations about the new quota. Justices Dinesh Maheshwari, S Ravindra Bhat, Bela M Trivedi, and JB Pardiwala are the other members in the bench.
One of the justices on the bench JB Pardiwala spoke about the reason behind bringing the reservation and said the idea behind this was to end social inequality and over the past seven decades we achieved it. Having said that, the justice said those who benefited from the reservation should take a backstep and let others move forward so that everyone would benefit.
The economically weaker sections (EWS) quota law was introduced in the Parliament by the union government back in 2019. The bill was tabled in the house before the Lok Sabha polls. The bill was drafted by the 103rd Constitution amendment.
The bill was drafted going by the recommendations of the commission headed by retired Major General S R Sinho. The body took around five years to understand and examine various aspects of society and made recommendations. The committee was formed by the Congress govt back in 2005 and the body gave its rapport in 2010. But the BJP took forward its recommendations.
Vishwak Gives A Controlled Response To Arjun’s Comments!
The issue between Action King Arjun Sarja and young hero Vishwak Sen is all over the news for the past two days. The senior hero came out in front of the media and bashed Vishwak Sek for his allegedly unruly behaviour. He called him unprofessional and said that he wouldn’t work with him even if he gets 100 crores.
With things getting out of hand, Vishwak Sen decided to explain his side of things. He told, “I will leave the industry immediately if any person in the industry including the light boys calls me unprofessional. I worked with many senior producers like Dil Raju garu. I usually spend 40 days shooting, and 20 days on promotion for every film. I feel I am the most committed actor. The reason for not coming to the sets is my late realization. I had several doubts.”
He added, “Whenever I raised doubts, he used to stop me and tell me to believe in him. I have huge respect for Arjun Sarja garu as I watched many of his films from my childhood. I like him. But by the time I was about to start shooting, I felt uncomfortable. Had I attended that shoot and expressed my denial after two days then he would have asked me why I didn’t say this before the beginning of the shoot itself.”
Vishwak said, “I say sorry to him if he feels that I made a mistake. But I thought of putting my brain for the betterment of the script by owning it personally. I always solve my problems between four walls. But he opened up to the media. Anyway, I wish him all the best.”
While Vishwak Sen said that Arjun did not respond to his calls, Arjun says otherwise. We need to see if this is the end of the story and a twist in the tale awaits us.
