Pro-quota medicos groups demands implementaiton of quota

New Delhi, May 27 (PTI) Apprehending that the government may dilute the provision of reservations for SC, ST and OBCs, a pro-qota group of medicos demanded the implementation of reservation in "strict" terms and that the Prime Minister make the government's stand clear on the matter.

"Through the course of anti-reservation stir, Congress Party has been shifting its stance frequently with different ministers adopting different stances in public," the Medicos Forum For Equal Opportunities said.

"These development clearly indicate that the government is well on its way to greatly dilute the provision of reservations for SC, ST and OBCs," it said in a release.

The group alleged that there was a complicit support of the Left Front in the "mechanisations" of the government, demanding the Prime Minister and the Left front should make their stand clear with respect to the issues of implementation of reservations and the question of setting up of a commission to reiew the reservation policy.

Threatening of an all India coordinated movement of the pro-reservation doctors and progressive forces in the coming week, the forum demanded implementaion of quota for SC, STs and OBCs in the "strictest possible sense of the word" and equal opportunities for quality education for all.

It also demanded vast expansion of number of seats in educational institutions and jobs for all.
