Unveiling V.P. Singh’s statue in Chennai, Stalin reiterates demand for caste census

Unveiling a statue of former Prime Minister V.P. Singh on the Presidency College campus in Chennai on Monday, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin reiterated that the Union government should undertake a caste census along with the decadal census.

The reservation meant for Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and minorities should be implemented properly, Mr. Stalin said and further called for constituting a committee with MPs from all parties to ensure its implementation nationally.

“All political parties focussing on social justice at the national level should jointly coordinate with each other for the welfare of the people,” Mr. Stalin said, while sharing the dais with Samajwadi Party president and former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav at Kalaivanar Arangam.
