The Society for the Rights of Backward Communities (SFRBC) on Tuesday condemned the State government for issuing the government order (G.O.) for implementation of an Act that provides 10.5% special reservation for the Vanniyars in education and employment. V. Rathna Sabapathy, coordinator of SFRBC, told mediapersons here that the representatives of other communities will soon announce “non-violent” steps across the State to attract the attention of the government on this issue. He alleged that the State government had “neglected” the demands of 252 backward communities through the special reservation for Most Backward Classes (Vanniakula Kshatriya) within the MBC quota, which he claimed would adversely impact the opportunities in education and employment for the youths from other communities.
