Anti-reservation protesters at Jantar Mantar demand policy review, creamy layer provision

In a powerful demonstration, hundreds of individuals convened at Delhi's Jantar Mantar to voice their concerns against caste-based reservation policies. The protesters advocated for economic criteria to guide affirmative actions instead of caste, pushing for a reevaluation of the current reservation system. They urged for the implementation of a 'creamy-layer' criterion and necessary policy reforms for SC, ST, and OBC groups, while police enforced heavy security measures amidst the scene.
