On behalf of the youth for equality we would like to state that :
1. We are very disappointed with the outcome of the CCPA meeting held yesterday. However we appreciate the sentiments of Mr. Pranab Mukherjee.
Sir, If you all think of us as your children please pay attention to our demands and do not treat us as step children.
2. Mr. Arjun Singh's statement that they will not take back the O.B.C. reservation has confirmed our belief that he is not sensitive to the students' problems and is not ready for any discussion. Also we have not received any official letter for talks from the Honorable minister.
3. We also welcome the idea of an increase in the number of seats,however our stand against the existing reservation policy remains unchanged.
4. We would like to thank our colleagues from Shimla, Rohtak, Amritsar, Faridkot,Chandigarh, Aurangabad, Patiala, Sonam, and Orissa, who have been on a hunger strike and are with us in our cause.
5. We also appreciate the support we have received from various sections of the society ranging from our patients, faculty of various medical colleges, private practitioners, students from lIT Delhi, NSIT Delhi and IP university students, management institutes, members of the law fraternity and various resident welfare associations.
6. We, again, appeal to The Honorable Prime Minister to step in and set up a nonpolitical judicial committee to review the existing reservation policy. We have sent repeated requests previously and a fax today seeking an appointment with the Prime Minster. Sir, we are. not against the Dalits or any backward class and we have thought of more just means of applying reservation. Kindly grant us an audience. 7. We, also, appeal to people from all strata of society to come forward and support us in our fight against this social evil.
