Caste and religion based quota system may eventually harm the nation : SC Justice Shiva Kirti Singh

Stating that caste and religion based quota system may eventually harm the nation, Justice Shiva Kirti Singh of Supreme Court said on Saturday that a time-frame for reservation should be fixed.

Justice Shiva Kirti Singh, while addressing advocates at a conference ‘Role of Advocates in Indian Democracy’ organised by Adhivakta Parishad, an off-shoot of RSS, said, “Positive action is needed to help the needy people. But time frame for reservation should be fixed let’s say 20-30 years.”

RSS chief, Mohan Bhagwat, had also recently said that the reservation policy should be reviewed. A debate over reservation is already underway in the country, after Patel community in Gujarat demanded quota under OBC category.
