Haath badlega halaat: Rahul Gandhi highlights three historic resolutions for social justice at Ahmedabad's AICC convention

Congress leader outlines three landmark resolutions to strengthen social justice, challenge reservation limits, and empower marginalized communities

"Haath ko mazboot banaye...kyuki haath badlega halaat - Rahul Gandhi"

New Delhi, April 10

Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Thursday highlighted the three "historic" decisions for strengthening "social justice" adopted in the party's 'Nyaypath' resolution during the All India Congress Committee (AICC) session held in Ahmedabad on the banks of the Sabarmati river.

The two-day AICC convention ended on Wednesday.

In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi stressed three historic resolutions: to abolish the 50 per cent cap on reservations, implement a legal framework for the SC/ST Sub Plan to give these classes a share in the budget based on their population, and enforce the right to reservation in private educational institutions for SCs, STs, and OBCs.

"Yesterday, at the AICC Ahmedabad convention 'Nyayapath', the Congress took three historic resolutions to strengthen social justice by giving a share to the Bahujans of the country," he said.

"We will abolish the 50% limit on reservation by bringing a national law. Will give legal shape to SC/ST Sub Plan by making a central law and will give share in the budget to these classes on the basis of their population and enforce the right to reservation in private educational institutions for SCs, STs and OBCs as provided in Article 15 (5) of the Constitution," the Lok Sabha LoP said.

The Congress leader called on the Bahujan community to support these initiatives, emphasizing that unity would bring about positive change.

"Haath ko mazboot banaye...kyuki haath badlega halaat (strengthen the hand... because hand will change the situation)", Rahul Gandhi said in a message to the "Bahujans" of the country.

Notably, "haath" here refers to the electoral symbol of the Congress.

The Congress on Wednesday accused the BJP-led government of a "relentless, systematic and conspiratorial attack" on India's constitutional institutions. It talked of changes in the party's organisational structure by empowering district units. Party chief Mallikarjun Kharge stated that those who cannot work for the party should take rest and those who can't discharge their duties should retire.

The 'Nyay Path' resolution adopted at the AICC session came down heavily on the BJP-led government, accusing it of "failure on economy, foreign affairs and betrayal with the farmers".

It called for reservations for OBCs, STs and SCs in private educational institutions and said this should be implemented without delay.

Finally some concrete steps towards social justice! The 50% cap on reservations has been outdated for years. Hope these resolutions translate into real change 🤞

While I appreciate the intent, I'm skeptical about implementation. Previous governments have made similar promises. Will wait to see actual legislation before celebrating.

The focus on private institutions is crucial! Many top colleges have been finding loopholes to avoid reservations. This could be a game-changer for students from marginalized communities.

"Haath badlega halaat" - powerful message! But Congress needs to walk the talk now. The youth are watching closely 👀

Respectfully, I think the focus should be on improving education quality for all first. More reservations won't solve the root problems in our education system. But I do appreciate the intent behind these proposals.
