Students who were part of the anti-reservation agitation at the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences and the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, on Thursday welcomed the Supreme Court order staying the 27 per cent reservation for Other Backward Classes in elite educational institutions including the Indian Institutes of Management.

There was much celebration at AIIMS after news about the order came in. “We are celebrating Holi and Diwali together and are happy with the Supreme Court order. The proposal was wrong to begin with and was aimed at creating a vote bank,” said AIIMS Resident Doctors’ Association vice-president Arnab Pal.

Welcoming the order, Ashok Singh, president, IIT Alumni Association, Delhi chapter, said:

“The only way to improve education is to remove corruption from the government-funded and managed schools and institutes. Let the elite show the way by sending their children to corporation schools to show their trust in their own education system. The need of the day is to strengthen the basic primary education for the backward classes. Many of the senior politicians run hundreds of colleges, why have they excluded them from reservation?”

Youth For Equality, a non-political student movement, said: “We welcome the move and are happy that the apex court’s decision which is both student and nation friendly. The Government has to admit that its proposal was politically motivated and did not take into account the fact that meritorious students did not stand to benefit from the revised reservation proposal.”
