New Delhi, 7/11: Opposition Monday spoke in different voices on the Supreme Court upholding 10 per cent reservation for economically weaker sections (EWS) with the Congress welcoming it, and the DMK finding fault with the judgment.
Trinamool Congress (TMC) officially preferred “no comments as of now” even as one of its senior MPs, Saugata Roy, welcomed the judgment as “historic”.
In a statement, Congress General Secretary (Communications) Jairam Ramesh said the party welcomed the judgment. Congress also sought to take credit for the EWS quota with Ramesh saying the amendment itself was the result of a process initiated by the Manmohan Singh government in 2005-06 with the appointment of the Sinho Commission that submitted its report in July 2010.
