He urged upon the government to enhance the medical allowance from Rs. 300/- P.M. to atleast Rs. 2000/-P.M. Bhushan Pargal, Secretary of the Forum, appealed to the Modi Government to remove restrictions imposed on the application of article - 14 of Indian Constitution which provides, equality to all the citizens of India and prohibits the discrimination on the basis of caste, creed, religion and region. He blamed government for promoting discrimination by restricting application of article, 14, 15, 16 to provide benefits of reservation to the affluent and powerful sections, including creamy layers of reserved category and crushing the dreams of educationally and economically backwards among them by keeping them backwards. He demanded government welfare schemes to ameliorate the socio-economic status of the 'poor caste' besides providing 50 percent cut in water and electricity bills like Delhi State. |
