The government should bring an ordinance to"rectify" the Supreme Court's recent decision on reservations in jobs for SC-ST communities and all such issues should be included in the NinthSchedule of the Constitution to insulate them from judicial review, Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan said on Friday.
He said the government was also mulling filing a review against the Supreme Court decision and was taking legal opinion on it."The review petition is there, but the matter will again go to court, ithas to be looked at whether it will be successful or not. So, in my opinion,the easiest way is to issue an ordinance and make an amendment in theConstitution," Paswan told PTI in an interview.
The Lok Janshakti Party leader's remarks come amidst apolitical storm after the apex court recently ruled that the states are notbound to provide reservation for Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs)in appointments and there is no fundamental right to claim quota in promotions.
