SaralnamaOn Friday afternoon, the Savarna Army submitted a memorandum to the President at the Jaunpur Collectorate. Led by district president Jitendra Pandey, hundreds of workers demanded an end to caste-based reservations and reforms or abolition of the SC/ST Act. They also called for a 'Savarna Commission' to address general category issues. Pandey argued that despite poverty, the general category is deprived of government benefits due to caste-based reservations. The group claimed the SC/ST Act is misused as a weapon, leading to suicides and false imprisonments. To support their cause, citizens can join peaceful protests or write to their local representatives. (Updated 24 Oct 2025, 12:45 IST; source: link)
