SRINAGAR, JUNE 10 (STC): Member of Parliament from Srinagar and National Conference leader Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi has asserted that the recommendations of the Cabinet Sub-Committee, formed to examine grievances related to the Union Territory’s revised reservation policy, must reflect the concerns raised by students.
The sub-committee has completed its report and is set to present it before the Cabinet in its upcoming meeting.
According to the reports, Ruhullah is scheduled to meet with students on June 11 to discuss the issues leading up to the sub-committee’s report.
“I expect what the students expect—that their demands, concerns, and grievances are addressed with fairness and transparency. There is a clear call for rationalization of the reservation regime and it must be carried out in line with what the students have articulated,” Ruhullah has told to media.
The MP has also been reported to have said that a delegation of student leaders and reservation rights activists is scheduled to meet him on June 11 at 10:30 AM to discuss the issue in detail.
Earlier on Tuesday, Minister Sakina Itoo, who chaired the sub-committee, provided an update on the progress. “The Cabinet Sub-Committee constituted to examine the issue of reservations has drafted its report within the stipulated time frame of six months. The report will be placed before the Cabinet when it meets,” Itoo said in a post on X.
It’s worth mentioning that the ypolicy sparked protests and opposition from several quarters, prompting then-Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to establish the Cabinet Sub-Committee to reassess the implications of the move. The panel was given six months to complete its review (STC)
