Bengaluru: Bommai urges govt to build consensus on internal reservation
Bengaluru: BJP MP and former Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai urged the state government to consult all communities and build consensus before implementing internal reservation while filling vacant posts, The New Indian Express reported
Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru, Bommai said the government must clearly outline the procedure it intends to follow in carrying out pending recruitments. It should consult all communities and build consensus, he said, adding that the government appears to be confused.
He said that he was not aware of any formal approval or order issued by the Governor regarding internal reservation. The government must seek the advice of legal experts before moving forward.
Several communities have presented their cases before the Justice Nagamohan Das Committee, and appropriate action should be taken after examining its recommendations, he said.
On international developments, Bommai also appealed to global leaders to intervene and stop the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. He said the situation could escalate further if not addressed immediately.
The conflicts are being driven by petroleum and religious issues. The US is trying to assert control over oil resources and is not in a position to heed anyone’s advice, he said.
He pointed out that tensions are affecting regions such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia, creating widespread concern as Indians reside in large numbers across these regions.
