Escalating his attack on the caste-based reservation system, G. Sukumaran Nair, general secretary of the Nair Service Society (NSS), here on Tuesday reiterated the organisation’s position that the existing system of reservation would benefit only the creamy layer among the backward communities.
Inaugurating the 110th Vijayadashami Day Nair meeting at Perunna on Tuesday, Mr. Nair noted that the caste-based reservation system, which had been stipulated only for a particular time period, was continuing without any review or scientific data.
“Economically weaker sections in as many as 164 forward communities have now been awarded 10% reservation. To ensure reservation for all economically backward people across the communities, caste-based reservation system should be abolished,” he said.
