United Students secures support of Confederation of All India Traders and Delhi Trade bodies for students campaign against reservations. Solidarity Day declared on Saturday 20th May.
New Delhi, 16th May: The apex trade organisation of the Country, Confederation of All India Traders [CAIT] has today extended support to the on going students anti-reservation movement calling the Government’s proposed extension of reservation policy as “short sighted and fundamentally unfair”.
Mr. Praveen Khandelwal, Secretary General of CAIT also indicated that associate trade bodies of Delhi are supportive of the students struggle.
On Monday, United Students had secured the additional support of Delhi’s RWAs after discussions with URJA, an all-Delhi network of over 500 RWAs.
United Students group members have declared Saturday 20th May as Solidarity Day and have asked all trade unions, trade bodies and RWAs and other civil society groups to assemble at Jantar Mantar at 10 a.m. to express solidarity with the student’s movement. Members of Bharat Uday Mission will also participate on the occasion.
“We are expecting URJA to invite all RWAs to this meeting along with all trade and other bodies affiliated to various organisations,” said Aditya Raj, a group member of United Students. “Students from all institutions in and around Delhi are also being invited to join the Solidarity Meet. We are also taking care to dispel the notion that only medical students are affected by the reservations policy,” he added.
Speaking at a joint press conference held at Delhi on Tuesday, Mr. Promod Chawla, Convenor of URJA said “ The crumbling edifice of governance is sought to be propped up by short term and dangerous short cuts by the government. People have today seen through this game and will not support degenerate policies like caste-based reservations”.
“While I ask of the student community to protest in a principled fashion, I ask the Government and the Prime Minister to not delay a solution on this any longer”, he added.
Mr. Praveen Khandelwal, while expressing support to the movement cautioned that any policy that harmed a section of society to benefit another is bound to fail in the long term. “ I appeal to the Government to see reason and to ensure that things do not get out of hand on this issue,“ he said. He also added that while restraint was required by all at the moment, a solution cannot be indefinitely postponed.
