K Kavitha has demanded a separate 10 per cent reservation for Muslims, arguing that would make 42 per cent reservation for Backward Classes easier.
Hyderabad:K Kavitha - MLC of Bharat Rashtra Samithi and president of Telangana Jagruti -- ended her proposed 72-hour hunger strike to demand 42 per cent quota for backward classes, on Day One following court orders. Ms Kavitha has demanded a separate 10 per cent reservation for Muslims, arguing that would make 42 per cent reservation for Backward Classes easier.
The protest, organised under the banner of her cultural organization Telangana Jagruthi, was only permitted by police from 10 am to 4 pm, leading her to end the fast prematurely.
Ms Kavitha, who had already filed a writ petition in the Telangana High Court, had stated her intention to pursue the matter legally to secure permission for a full 72-hour protest.
But the High Court, in a hearing, declined to issue an interim order directing the police to grant permission for the full duration of the fast. Justice K Lakshman did suspend one of the police-imposed conditions, which had restrained Ms Kavitha from posting content about the hunger strike on social media.
