Nagpur: The RSS today adopted a resolution opposing the 4.5 per cent sub-quota for minorities within the existing 27 per cent reservation for OBCs, saying it had the potential to trigger discord among various sections. The resolution was adopted during the three-day meeting of the Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha, the organisation`s highest decision-making body, which will conclude tomorrow.

"During the meeting, a resolution was adopted, describing the Centre`s move on the sub-quota reservation as anti-constitutional and also called for its rejection by the entire nation," RSS functionary and Swadeshi Jagran Manch joint-convenor Bhagwati Prasad told reporters here today. In its written resolution, RSS said, "We should uphold the unity and integrity of our society as paramount. Mature polity should handle such movements with utmost care and sensitivity."
