Raipur. Various organizations across the country have called for a ‘Bharat Bandh’ on August 21 against the Supreme Court’s decision on creamy layer in Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe reservation. Chhattisgarh Chamber of Commerce and Industries and Private School Association have decided not to support this nationwide bandh.
In view of the bandh, the Chhattisgarh Chamber of Commerce and Industries held a meeting with the officials of Chhattisgarhiya Sarva Samaj Mahasangh and Sarva Samaj regarding the call for ‘Bharat Bandh’. This meeting was organized to know the Chamber’s stand in support of the proposed ‘Bharat Bandh’ in protest against the reservation classification order issued by the Hon’ble Supreme Court.
Chamber’s state president Amar Parwani said that there was an intense discussion on this subject between the Chamber’s officials and representatives of the entire society. However, the national organizations associated with the Chamber expressed ignorance about the ‘Bharat Bandh’ and refused to support it. The Chamber’s state president clarified that the small traders, hawkers and trade organizations associated with the business of fruits and vegetables, milk and other raw materials associated with the Chamber have to suffer financial losses in case of a sudden shutdown. That is why, without prior notice and without a meeting of trade unions, it is not possible to support the ‘Bharat Bandh’.
Other prominent office bearers of the Chamber, Treasurer Uttamchand Golcha, Executive President Rajendra Jaggi, Executive General Secretary Vikas Ahuja, and representatives of all communities participated in this meeting. The Chamber has made it clear that it will not support any sudden shutdown, which may cause financial loss to small traders and other concerned people.
Private School Association also distanced itself from the shutdown
President of the Private School Association, Rajiv Gupta, said that the association has not supported the shutdown, but it has been decided to keep schools closed in areas where the ST/SC community is dominant, while schools in urban areas will remain partially open. Rajiv Gupta said that the local school management has been given the right to decide whether to keep the school open or closed so that students coming to school by bus and from far-flung areas do not face any problems due to the shutdown.
