Demonstration at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi. Postal OBC participates.

A demonstration was conducted on 09.08.2016 at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi to protest the orders of the DoPT against the OBC candidates in UPSC Civil Service Examinations and to restore their original rank as per the merit list.  

out of 1078 Civil Services posts 120 OBC candidates selection was disqualified based on a biased DoPT order.

DoPT has passed the orders arbitrarily without consulting National Commission for Backward Classes.

DoPT has not authority to reject the OBC creamy layer certificate issued by the revenue authorities.

Even though the DoPT order (08.09.1993) clearly states that the salary and agricultural income should not be taken into consideration for creamy layer purposed, DoPT had violated its own order and thus rendered injustice to OBC's.
