RTC Mazdoor Union Backs Telangana Bandh On Oct 18
Hyderabad, Oct 17 (Maxim News): The RTC Telangana Mazdoor Union has announced its support for the Telangana bandh tomorrow, October 18.
The bandh has been called by the BC associations’ Joint Action Committee (JAC) to demand 42 percent reservation for Backward Classes.
In a press release on Friday, Union General Secretary Thomas Reddy confirmed the decision. He said the call follows the High Court stay on the state government’s BC reservation Government Order. He urged the central and state governments to implement reservation through law.
The union said it stands with the BC JAC in this rights-based struggle. It described the bandh as a democratic protest. It said the aim is to secure legal backing for the reservation demand.
