Congress may push for private sector reservation

The political push for reservation in the private sector has already led to major debates and during the ten years of the Congress-led UPA government, no such effort to implement quota in private sector jobs was mooted.

New Delhi: In a major policy shift, the Congress party on Saturday demanded reservation in the private sector and advocated ‘quota within quota’ in the Women’s Reservation Bill that is pending for passage since 2010.

 

Congress leaders Salman Khurshid and K Raju said today that the panel on social justice will recommend to the Congress Working Committee to reserve 50% seats at all levels within the organization and push for quota in the private sector.

Khurshid, a former Union minister, argued, “This government is selling off public sector companies diluting the reservation for jobs in government entities. Therefore, we are seeking quota in the private sector to protect the interests of the weaker section.”

The political push for reservation in the private sector has already led to major debates and during the ten years of the Congress-led UPA government, no such effort to implement quota in private sector jobs was mooted.

Any policy in that direction will require amendments in the central laws but the ruling BJP has not spelled out any categorical stand on the issue so far.

In another key policy change, the Congress panel on social justice on Saturday pushed for quota within quota in the Women’s Reservation Bill, years after it resisted such demands when the bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha in 2010. Regional parties such as the RJD (an UPA ally), Nitish Kumar’s JDU and Mulayam Singh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party were in favour of quota within quota, but their demand was not met.

Quota within quota will entail further reservation of seats for women of the weaker sections within the overall one-third quota for women lawmakers in Lok Sabha and state assemblies.

Khurshid claimed that the decision to not include quota within quota in the Women’s Reservation Bill was a “tactical move” and “the idea was to first pass the Women’s Reservation law and then think about the share for the weaker sections.”

Reservation in private-sector jobs, in my opinion, will have both instant and long-term repercussions. At the surface level, it clearly violates Article 14 of the Constitution, which talks about the right to equal opportunity in matters of public employment. According to the Constitution, there shall be equality of opportunity for all citizens in matters relating to employment or appointment to any office under the State, and no citizen shall be ineligible for or discriminated against in respect of, any employment or office under the State merely on the basis of religion, race, caste, sex, descent, place of birth, residence, or any of them. Similarly, Article 19 grants all citizens the right to freely move throughout India, to reside and settle anywhere, and to practice any profession or carry on any occupation, trade, or business throughout India.

Apart from the constitutional issues, I’d like to draw attention to the problems and risks that this fractious Act may pose to our youth and to the country’s rising economy. To begin with, this Act would be a direct attack on the fundamental idea of the Indian economy as one unit. On the one hand, where our Prime Minister talks about ‘One Nation, One Everything,’ businesses – both domestic and multinational – may struggle to find skilled workers in Haryana. According to the Census of India (2011), Haryana’s literacy rate is 75.55% only and we all know the definition of who is literate in India – someone who can read and write. Will that be enough for companies to hire only the literates from the State?

If companies in Haryana have difficulty finding skilled resources as a result of a law requiring them to hire at least 75% of their workforce locally and only 25% from outside the state, they may be forced to relocate to other cities due to insufficient local manpower. As a result, not only Haryana, but the entire country would suffer, because the National Capital Region (NCR) contributes significantly to the country’s GDP, and Gurugram (Gurgaon) is an important city for both NCR Delhi and Haryana .

Haryana govt 75% locals ki reservation isthenee court struck it down....ipudu total private sector lo reservations ante simply they will strike it off ...

U cannot force a private company to hire somebody based on caste....it's violation of everyright in book
