Khandu welcomes Centre's decision to provide 10 pc reservation

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu Wednesday welcomed the Narendra Modi government's decision to provide 10 per cent reservation in education and government jobs for 'economically weak' people across castes and religions.

In a statement on Wednesday, Khandu said that the passage of the Constitution (124th Amendment) Bill 2019 by the Lok Sabha would ensure that every poor person, irrespective of caste and creed will get a life of dignity and access to all possible opportunities.

"Prime Ministers mantra of Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas is being realised in the truest sense," the chief minister said in the message.

While lauding Modi for the historic decision, Khandu said, "with this decision of the Centre, millions of poor and vulnerable brothers and sisters of our country will be benefited."
