Don’t jump to conclusions about caste census report: Min Dinesh Gundu Rao tells people
Bengaluru: Health and Family Welfare Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao has asked citizens not to fall for the words of people who have been demeaning the caste census report without checking the information and details provided in the document.
Rao posted a comment on his personal ‘X’ account on Wednesday regarding the responses to the social, economic and educational survey report submitted by the committee headed by Jayaprakash Hegde. “I am of the opinion that, if we abide by and strictly follow the principle of social justice and equality, we should analyze the caste census report in a scientific manner. I would also stress on the point that the report deals with several logical issues,” he has posted.
Expressing his full support to the report, the minister said that the report will be presented in the Cabinet meeting. The Cabinet will analyze the shortcomings and the effective implementation of data provided in the report with rounds of open discussion, he added.
“I have checked some of the recommendations made by the committee and feel no community needs to be dissatisfied or upset about these recommendations. No community has been neglected by the surveyors,” he opined.
“Some people, however, seem to be ignorant about the data in the report and also misleading others about the census report. I therefore request people not to jump to conclusions regarding the document as this causes unnecessary dilemma. Let us first read the report. Let us also be ready for an open discussion on any issue given in it. Calling the census report unscientific without reading it will be a hasty move.”
