Govt will seek reservations in pvt sector

The government proposed to initiate a dialogue with political parties, industry and other bodies on how best the private sector can fulfil the aspirations of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes.

President A P K Abdul Kalam told a joint session of Parliament that the government is sensitive to the issue of affirmative action, including reservations in the private sector, and is committed to faster socioeconomic and educational development of the SCs and STs.

Reservation quotas in government, including those relating to promotions, will be fulfilled in a time-bound manner, he said adding appropriate legislation will be enacted to codify all policies on reservations.

Wonder why these guys want to destroy everything. Taking people for a job should be based on what they can bring to the job and not what caste they belong to. The reservation virus was unleashed by V P Singh, and seems to have infected government jobs and admission to colleges. It was only the private sector that was (fortunately) left untouched and now even that is threatened. Wonder what is it that these guys wan to do :(
