RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Thursday that reservation should continue until social discrimination ends, while urging its implementation in line with BR Ambedkar’s vision. Speaking at a youth interaction summit in Mumbai, he said quotas were rooted in social justice and should help disadvantaged groups improve their lives. Bhagwat also referred to demands for internal categorisation among communities covered by reservation, saying such calls had emerged in several states and that the Supreme Court had made an observation on the issue. He cautioned against turning reservation into a political tool, arguing that this created bitterness and weakened its purpose. The event also included discussion of dialogue after unrest at Jantar Mantar.
