GOVT “HOLDS IN ABEYANCE” NOTIFICATION ON SAINI COMMUNITY

Chandigarh February 28 : The Punjab Government today decided to “ hold in abeyance” the decision to declare Saini Community as a Backward Class.
“The notification issued earlier in this regard would not come into effect till the matter is examined and considered in its entirety. A final decision would be taken only after taking into consideration the views of a wide spectrum of the members of the community, fully respecting their sentiments,” said Mr. Harcharan Bains, Media Advisor to Chief Minister, Mr. Parkash Singh Badal.
The government’s decision comes in the wake of several delegations from the community calling the Chief Minister to seek a review of the government’s earlier decision, said Mr. Bains.
The Chief Minister had already given an assurance that the state government had no intention of forcing any decision on the community against their will.
