RS remains paralysed

NEW DELHI: The Rajya Sabha remained paralysed and adjourned to Monday within 10 minutes on Friday despite Human Resources Development Minister Prakash Javadekar''s clarification to resort to the option of an Ordinance if the government''s review petition in the Supreme Court fails to restore reservations SCs, STs and OBCs in the appointments in the central universities.

The Opposition raked up ruckus to insist on the govt immediately bring a Bill on the lines of 10% quota to the economically weaker sections (EWS) instead of waiting for the Apex Court''s decision that it doesn''t expect to change, badly hitting the reservations.
