Khattar to move HC after it stays quota for six communities

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal on Thursday said the BJP government would not wait till July 21 to initiate legal action against the ex parte decision of the Punjab and Haryana high court as per which it had granted interim stay on quota to six castes – Jat, Jat Sikh, Mula Jat, Bishnoi, Ror and Tyagi under Backward Classes ‘C’ category in government jobs and admission to educational institutes in the state. 

He said the government would present its case in the High Court and try its best to get the stay vacated.

Following the concept of ‘Haryana Ek-Haryanavi Ek’ and ‘Sabka Sath-Sabka Vikas’, Khattar said the government was committed to the welfare of all sections of society. He said the government had given quota to six castes Jat, Jat Sikh, Mula Jat, Bishnoi, Ror and Tyagi within the ambit of Constitution. A Bill to this effect was passed by the Assembly.  Khattar said the government had given statutory status to the Haryana Backward Classes Commission after 24 years of the Supreme Court order. He said had the previous government legally given reservation benefit to these castes, the issue would have faced such legal issues.
