The last day of the winter session of the Indian Parliament saw the introduction and passing of a bill to facilitate 10 percent reservation for economically weaker citizens in recruitment in government services and for admissions in educational institutions including private institutes, aided and unaided institutes other than minority institutes.
Shri Subhash Chandra, expressing his elation at having the opportunity to vote on this historic bill, tweeted, “I am happy that I had the opportunity to vote on this historic bill. I believe that 124th Constitution Amendment will be one of those amendments in the last 71-72 years which would have far-reaching consequences for the country. It will be the first step by Independent India in the direction of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ or the concept of ‘The world is my family’.”
मुझे प्रसन्नता है कि मुझे इस ऐतिहासिक बिल पर मत देने का अवसर मिला। मेरा विश्वास है कि १२४ वाँ संविधान संशोधन पिछले ७१-७२ वर्षों में हुए संशोधनों में से एक ऐसा संशोधन होगा जिसके देशहित में दूरगामी परिणाम होंगे। वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम् की दिशा में स्वतंत्र भारत का पहला निर्णायक क़दम होगा

Subhash Ji further explained how this bill will change the social landscape of the nation. “Opportunities will, no doubt, increase for those from economically weaker sections of the society but it will also reduce the differences among the people of a nation divided by caste biases. This bill will reunite us all,” he said.
He lauded the passing of the bill and stated that a seemingly impossible task has been made a success. “A majority of parties supported the bill, that too in just three days. This in itself is an achievement,” he said congratulating the Prime Minister for it.
आर्थिक रूप से कमज़ोर को तो अवसर मिलेगा ही साथ ही जातियों में बँटे भारत का आपसी वैमनस्य भी कम होगा। यह विधेयक पुनः हम सबको जोड़ेगा।
नामुमकिन सा लगने वाला कार्य सफल रहा। यह उपलब्धि ही है कि अधिकांश दल इस विधेयक के समर्थन में आए वह भी केवल ३ दिन में।
प्रधानमंत्री जी बधाई के पात्र है— Subhash Chandra (@subhashchandra) January 9, 2019
Elaborating further Subhash Ji also cited historical references. He stated, “Reservation is an administrative aid and its right is for all those who need help. The bill passed is an epitome of real socialism, the seeds of which were sown by the great leader of India and Pride of Haryana – Maharaja Agrasen Ji. It will have far-reaching consequences and bring in social harmony.”
आरक्षण एक प्रशासनिक सहायता है और इसका अधिकार उन सभी को है जिन्हें सहायता की आवश्यकता है।
पारित हुआ विधेयक सच्चे समाजवाद की परिकल्पना है, जिसका बीज भारत के महानायक व हरियाणा गौरव महाराजा अग्रसेन जी ने रखा था।
इसके बहुत दूरगामी परिणाम होंगे तथा सामाजिक समरस्ता बनेगी।— Subhash Chandra (@subhashchandra) January 9, 2019
“Passing of bill in Lok Sabha for reservation for economically weak sections, is a new & positive chapter in the history of independent India,” he tweeted hailing the move after it passed in the Lok Sabha on January 8. Congratulating the all Indians he added that this will benefit the country by bringing in ‘samrasta’ or social harmony in Bharat.
Passing of bill in Lok Sabha for reservation based on economically weak people, is a new & positive chapter in the history of independent India. This will herald social harmoney & samrasta in Bharat. Congratulations to all Indians
