Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Thursday told the Legislative Assembly that the DMK government would ensure 10.5% internal reservation for Vanniyars in the similar manner it had achieved 7.5% reservation for government school students in professional courses.
“The Supreme Court has clearly said that the Assembly and the State government has powers (for enacting law on quota),” he said while responding to a calling attention motion moved by the PMK, Congress, and the Tamizhaga Vazhurimai Katchi founder T. Velimurugan.
The Chief Minister said he was not ready to go into the issue that “the reservation is temporary” since it was an important issue of Tamil Nadu’s social justice and special reservation. “We will hold discussions with legal experts and certainly uphold social justice,” he added.
