Rajasthan: Karni Sena demands review of reservation system

The outfit's patron called for an honest assessment' of the reservation rather than scrapping it altogether.

Jaipur: Karni Sena on Thursday demanded a review of the reservation system in the country and called for a mass meeting on the issue by all social organisations.

"The reservation should be reviewed overall. The review does not mean finishing up the reservation but an honest assessment of it," the outfit's founder patron Lokendra Singh Kalvi told reporters here.

Kalvi said top RSS leaders have in recent times given a statement on the reservation issue and a meeting should be convened by all the social organisations.

"There should be a historic mass meeting on the issue. We are ready to support the RSS leaders in their statement and every social organisation should come together on this," he said.

Karni Sena last month had protested against filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming movie "Padmavati" demanding that no distorted historic fact with regard to Rani Padmavati should be included in the film.

The Sena members had also resorted to violence during the shooting of the film at Jaigarh fort here on January 27 prompting the filmmaker to pack up from here.
