| Reservations on BPL base only : Shafiq Mir | | 
Srinagar, August 31 (Scoop News)-Describing the caste based reservation policy a great threat to the
social fabric and national harmony of the country and state, Chairman All Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat Conference, Shafiq Mir has said that such short term political considerations may prove dangerous for
national integration of country and social harmony in the society.
Rejecting all sort of reservations in the name of caste, color, creed,region and religion, Shafiq Mir suggested all the politicians and other social forces, if they want to see the development of all
sections of the society equally, they should come forward and demand reservation in the name of BPL (Below Powerty Line) only .
In a statement issued here, Mir said, “ poor are in all sections of the society . I f we are really honest to change the poverty conditions of
the poor people of the society we must adopt BPL formula for reservations”,
Terming the BPL formula a best way to develop all the sections of the society, Mir demanded to scrap all the reservations made whether on the basis of area, caste, region or religion and adopt a new policy on the basis of BPL and it will end the demand of the reservations in future . “ If we want to see the development of, all let us adopt this
formula”, he added .
Reacting over the latest violent agitation in Gujjrat by Patel community demanding reservation, Mir said that such agitations were result of the wrong policies adopted by the governing class in India which was first introduced by the Britain rulers in India under their deep rooted conspiracy to ‘divide and rule’. However, after independence, the policy of divide and rule was not only continued by Indian politicians but it was more encouraged and strengthened. He said now the time has come to scrap this policy and adopt the BPL criteria for reservations which will cover all sections of society
belonging to different castes, colors, creeds and region.
He said, Jammu Kashmir,being constitutionally a special state can take a lead in this reformative step and can pay way for other states of the
country.
