RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat Calls for Continued Reservation Until Social Discrimination Ends
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat stated that caste-based reservation should continue as long as social discrimination persists, invoking Dr B.R. Ambedkar's vision as the guiding principle. He emphasized that those who have benefited from reservations and improved their socio-economic status should voluntarily relinquish benefits to others still disadvantaged. Bhagwat acknowledged emerging demands for internal categorisation within reserved groups and cautioned against politicising the issue, highlighting reservation as a tool for social upliftment rather than a permanent entitlement.
