Need caste survey to ensure proportionate reservation, says Cong’s J-K president

SRINAGAR: The Congress’ Jammu and Kashmir unit president Tariq Hameed Karra on Tuesday said a caste survey is needed to give proportionate reservation to various underprivileged sections of the society.

“We believe that reservation distribution should be on the basis of justice but for that it is necessary to have a caste census,” Karra told reporters here.

He was responding to questions about protests by some aspirants against the high quota of reservations in Jammu and Kashmir.
