views on reservation
Answers
Explanation:
htriya Swayamsevak Sangh has issued a clarification on RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's call for dialogue on the reservation as the statement created an uproar.
On Sunday, Mohan Bhagwat had said that there should be conversation in harmonious atmosphere between those in favour of reservation and those against it.
"Those who favour reservation should speak keeping in mind the interests of those who are against it, and similarly those who oppose it should do the vice-versa," he had said.
The statement had erupted a controversy with Congress claiming that it exposed the "anti Dalit-backward face" of the RSS and the BJP.
"The anti Dalit-backward face of the RSS-BJP has been exposed. The conspiracy to end reservation for the poor and the policy of changing the Constitution have been uncovered," Congress' chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said in a series of tweets in Hindi.
Issuing a clarification on Monday, RSS spokesperson Arun Kumar said that there were "attempts to create an unnecessary controversy over a part of Mohan Bhagwat ji's speech".
"He called for a discussion on sensitive topics like reservation in a harmonious atmosphere. As far as RSS's view on reservation goes, that has been made clear several times that the Sangh supports reservation to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, OBCs and economically-backward people," the statement said.
