Reservations should continue as long as there is discrimination in society, says H.H. Sarsanghchalak (Dr) Mohanji Bhagwat

Nagpur (Maharashtra) – Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) H.H. Sarsanghchalak (Dr) Mohanji Bhagwat on Wednesday said that reservations should continue as long as there is discrimination in society. Discrimination exists in society even though it is invisible, he said, speaking at an event here.

“We kept our own fellow human beings behind in the social system. We did not care for them, and it continued for 2,000 years. Until we provide them equality, some special remedies have to be there, and reservations are one of them.

Hence, reservations have to continue till there is such discrimination. We at the RSS give all support to the reservations provided in the Constitution,” he said. It is about giving respect and not just about ensuring financial or political equality, the RSS chief further said. If the sections of society which faced discrimination suffered for 2,000 years, “why cannot we (those who did not face discrimination) accept some trouble for 200 more years,” he added.
