Submitted my report on quota demand in Gujarat to high-command: Sibal

New Delhi:

Congress leader and senior lawyer Kapil Sibal today said that he has submitted his written report about reservation to the Patidar community in Gujarat to the party high-command and now the decision would be taken from the top level.

Talking to newsmen here after a meeting with former Gujarat Congress president Siddharth Patel and another party leader Babu Mangukiya (former advocate of PAAS leader Hardik Patel) on the issue, Sibbal said that he had verbally informed about his opinion and also submitted it in written to the high-command which will take a final call on it.

‘I have kept in mind the best interest of the poor people of Gujarat before submitting my opinion,’ he said.

Later Siddharth Patel indicated that the discussion was about EBC quota to non-reserved category rather than OBC quota to Patidar community (as demanded by Hardik from the BJP).

He said that various aspects of giving EBC quota to economically weaker sections in legal manner was discussed with Sibbal today.
