Mayawati slams SP, Congress for silence on SCs, STs sub-classification

She added that their silence shows their anti-reservation thinking and in such a situation, it is important to be alert.Mayawati claimed that now SP, Congress and other parties have seem to be united internally against reservation again, and in such a situation not only SC/SC but also Other Backward Classes (OBCs) have to fight the battle for the protection of their reservation, constitution and caste census on their own strength very wisely.A Supreme Court seven-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud, by a majority of 6:1, ruled that states can be allowed to make sub-classification in Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) to ensure that more backward castes within these groups are given reservation, on August 1.The majority decision said that sub-classification by the states should be justified based on standards and data.A one-day nationwide strike was called by some Dalit and tribal groups on August 21 against the Supreme Court’s decision regarding sub-classification of Scheduled Castes.
