Committee recommends quota for Gujjars

Jaipur, May 3 (PTI) A committee appointed by the High Court to look into the reservation demand of Gujjars in Rajasthan has recommended the government to grant quota and special backward class status to the community.

The I S Israni committee report submitted before the High Court has endorsed the recommendations of Justice Chopra Committee, which had recommended five per cent reservation for the community in 2007 in government employment and admission to educational institutions.

The Israni committee report has also asked the government to contest the reservation issue in favour of the community.

The committee was constituted by an interim order of the High Court to defuse law and order situation arising out of Gujjars' agitations in the state
