Elders concerned over move to de-reserve posts STAFF WRITER 15:11 HRS IST New Delhi, Dec 15 (PTI) Members today voiced concern in the Rajya Sabha over the government's reported to move to de-reserve posts meant only for SCs/STs and OBCs, a charge denied by the Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Prithviraj Chavan. Raising the issue during Zero Hour, J D Seelam (Cong) said Government should immediately withdraw any such move otherwise there would be widespread unrest by the SCs/STs and OBCs. Associating with him, D Raja (CPI) said it is a very serious matter. While the government is claiming that it is for inclusive growth, what Department of Personnel is doing is just the opposite. Terming it as "insensitive" and "irresponsible", Raja said government cannot take steps against the interest of SC/ST in the name of people's interest. Denying the charges, Chavan said the DoPT office memorandum was a progressive step.
