Lucknow: Lodging protest against Union Cabinet’s move of clearing reservation in promotions for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in government jobs, over 18 lakh employees will hold a state-wide strike on Wednesday.

All the employees of the Uttar Pradesh government, except those in emergency services, will be staging the protest strike.

Shailendra Dubey, president of 'Sarvjan Hitai Sanrakshan Samiti' said yesterday, that employees of all the departments under its banner, would stage protest meetings against the move at the district-level and also in the state capital.

However the emergency services would remain unaffected, Dubey added.

Slamming Union Cabinet’s move of clearing the proposal for reservation in promotion, Dubey said that it was an attempt to disturb the basic structure of the constitution and encroach upon the right to equality.

There have been four attempts in the past and this would be the fifth to amend the constitution, and the three crore employees of the country would not tolerate it, Dubey added.

A bill allowing reservation in promotions for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes in government jobs is slated to be introduced in Rajya Sabha today after the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, yesterday approved the proposal for making provisions for quotas for SC/STs in promotions in government jobs, clearing the deck for introduction of a Constitution Amendment Bill in the ongoing session of Parliament.

It is good to know that at least 18 lakh people have brains, and can stand up for what is right.

while getting job reservation can be considered, but for promotion the ability/caliber of the candidates must be taken in consideration.

Since independence congress is following the british rule of divide and rule. Caste system which was almost forgotton till mandal commission implementation, sprang back with full support of congress. This has led the society to divide in smaller and smaller groups fighting with each other for undue benefits claiming their birth status (not economic status) with the full dirty support of congress. This has increased the security of congress to rule the nation by entertaing this quota and that quota firstly for SCST then OBS then minorities then muslims etc there by dividing the society in different groups often playing one with the other. it is unfortunate that people of this country claim to be inferiors to garner bribes shown as benefits unlike other people of the world who take pride in claiming themselves as superior beings. God only can save this country from Congress demon.

Reservation in promotion and jobs are illegal, inhuman and unlawful and arbitrary. Whoever supports this type of laws is making overall anarchy and people should declare war on the politicians who are supporting this type of divide and rule policy and boycott them. Time has come to start afresh agitation against present rotton reservation system like present corrupted political system. We protest against this reservation and will start jail bharao agitation if Govt. is passed such type of bills without the consent of majority people in this country in the name of concocted majority inside the parliament.

Govt should give promotion on the basis of work and efficiency, not on the basis of caste and tribe it is unfair policy of Govt of India.

Why Mayawati & Congress leaders, dont pay to SC/ST from their own pockets? Why they dont sacrifice their wealth in their name? Who will bear the loss of ineffeciency, they would? Why such discrimination towards upper caste? Why effeciency being compromised in the name of reservation?In todays era, there are only two caste i.e. RICH & POOR rest is just a game of politics. If you have money, your all misdeeds will be hidden. Hence reservation to be eliminated from root, and to be given for poor people be of any caste, creed or religion. Than only we can think of SUPERPOWER INDIA. However these political leaders will never allow INDIA to grow as SUPERPOWER .
