This comes the day after the High Court in Calcutta ordered a temporary stay to announce the state government on the new list of the Civil Code. In May 2024, the High Court canceled 77 categories, and within the 2012 system with the aim of classifying any group such as OBC a lack of legislative policy. In June this year, the state government submitted a revised list.
The leader of the opposition of Suvend Adhikari, along with BJP MLA, distributed sweets outside the State Legislative Assembly on Wednesday in Kolkata and sang slogans, such as “Obc Bill Atke Gelo (Obc Bill remained)”. “
“Legal Rights to Hindu Obc”
“One of the reasons why (Chief Minister of West Bengal) Mamata Banerjee looks so disturbed today, yesterday’s stay on the stay on the list of the citizen knows that 17% of Hindu citizens were omitted. She tried to catch their rights.
He added that the main minister “spent Doom” for “hardworking Muslims who had dreams of becoming doctors, engineers or civil servants as applicants for a general category.”
“Unable to erase history”
Later on Mrs. Banerjee, BJP and the Indian Communist Party (Marxist) were accused of not wanting to go through Bill Obc.
“It’s for poor people, for a social and economically backward class. We want the reservation to stay for planned castes and tribal people. But how can we catch the rights of 33% of people who have been here since the division?
List ready municipality Commission
She added that the order of the High Court in Calcutta is an interim stay and not a judgment and that the government legal team is studying it.
“The government did not prepare this list; the municipality (Commission) has been prepared. The former higher justice of the Supreme Court in Calcutta is part of it. We did everything to follow the rules of the High Court,” the chief minister said.
In 1993, the West Bengal Commission was established for back -up classes in order to “explore the requests for the inclusion of any class of citizens as a back class in lists and hear complaints about excessive inclusion or lack of back class in these lists”.
