Amend Constitution to ensure quota for religious converts: Anbumani Ramadoss
PMK chief Anbumani Ramadoss has called for constitutional amendments to uphold reservation rights for eligible individuals who convert to other faiths. This demand stems from the Supreme Court's recent ruling that bars the extension of reservations to those who have switched religions. Ramadoss argues that caste-based reservations should remain intact for Hindus who convert, as their social status does not change despite their religious conversion.
He contends that not all religious conversions are motivated by improving one's social standing, and thus, the reservation system should be applied based on caste, regardless of religious affiliation, to ensure social justice.
