Several organisations representing Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday organised the ‘Adhikar Tiranga Yatra’ in Jammu to protest against the move of the Centre to include “upper castes” in the Schedule Tribe (ST) and Schedule Caste (SC) lists.
Members of the OBC Mahasabha, the All India Backward Classes Federation, and the All J&K Welfare Forum, Srinagar, participated in the protest.
“We protest against the discriminatory behaviour of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, J&K Lieutenant-Governor Manoj Sinha, and the G.D. Sharma Commission, towards Other Backward Classes (OBC) of J&K,” Mohan Lal Pawar, general secretary, OBC Mahasabha, said.
