The Supreme Court has held that states are constitutionally empowered to make sub-classifications within the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes categories
BSP chief and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati today said her party doesn't agree with the recent Supreme Court verdict allowing sub-classification within Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
"The sub-classification of people within Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) has been permitted, our party doesn't agree with it at all," Mayawati said while addressing a press conference here.
In a landmark verdict, the Supreme Court on Thursday held that states are constitutionally empowered to make sub-classifications within the Scheduled Castes, which form a socially heterogeneous class, for granting reservation for the uplift of castes that are socially and educationally more backward.
