HNYF wants implementation of ‘prospective’ roster system
The Hynniewtrep National Youth Front (HNYF) today said implementation of the roster system should not be ‘retrospective’.
Speaking to media persons, HNYF president Sadon K Blah said the state government should come up with a policy which will ensure implementation of the roster system should be prospective and not retrospective.
He said that the Meghalaya High Court in its order passed on the matter did not talk about the roster system needing to be with retrospective effect.
On the demand for reviewing the state reservation policy, Blah said, “Constitutionally, the reservation policy was intended only for 10 years and many Supreme Court rulings say that reservation should not be beyond 50 per cent. So if we attempt to bring legislation to review the entire reservation, it might invite the attention of the judiciary and that will have a more negative impact on the issue.”
He also urged all concerned to be aware of the Supreme Court’s ruling when it comes to the reservation issue and to be aware of the temporary constitutional status of the reservation.
He said that if a resolution is passed in the Assembly, it will surely invite the attention of the judiciary, which had already maintained that reservation no matter what should not be more than 50 per cent.
