Patna, Aug. 29 -- union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) President Chirag Paswan has demanded the resignation of Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) patron Jitan Ram Manjhi and his son Santosh Suman over demanding sub-classification and the 'creamy layer' within Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) reservations.
Speaking to the media in Patna on Saturday, the LJP (Ram Vilas) leader asserted that the basis of reservation is not economic but social discrimination. He accused the HAM leaders of trying to derive political mileage from a sensitive issue such as reservation. He said that instead of passing political statements on such sensitive matters, there should be serious discussion in Parliament.
