Patna: LJP supremo Ramvilas Paswan Friday threatened to resign from the Standing Committee on Lokpal in the parliament if Centre failed to ensure representation of SC, ST, women and minorities to the proposed Lokpal.

"I will resign from the Standing Committee considering the proposal for Lokpal if my demand for giving representation of SC, ST, Women and minorities is not met," Paswan told reporters.

He said he had already made his intention clear during the meeting of the committee.

Taking a dig at Anna Hazare's reaction to slapping of Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar, Paswan said, "Anna's statement is not in good taste."

Then Paswan should explain why he still has not resigned despite the existence of many minority commissions without any member of the majaority community in it. Is thgat his goal? To have a government and all kind of commissions without members of the majority community?

No use of Religion Word (Hindus, Christians, Muslims, etc) and No use of Caste Word (Upper Castes, Lower Castes, etc.). Anyone who uses Religion or Caste Word must be Ban from Contesting Election and Strip Off from their Ministerial Post. This is very important for Secular India and for Peace in India. Abolish the Caste and Reservation Policy. Those who use word Caste or Religion must be given Hard Labour Jail Terms. Caste and Reservation Policy not only divides each other but also bring hatred among each other.
