Members of the Panchamasali community staged a unique protest puja on the Pune-Bengaluru National Highway, demanding the inclusion of the 2A reservation category. The demonstration drew attention to the community’s longstanding demand for recognition and representation within the state’s reservation framework.
The Panchamasali community, primarily comprising the Veerashaiva-Lingayat sect, has been advocating for the inclusion of their sub-sect into the 2A category of reservations, which pertains to Other Backward Classes (OBC). They argue that this recognition is essential for their socio-economic upliftment and access to educational and employment opportunities.
The protest puja on the national highway saw members of the Panchamasali community conducting rituals, prayers, and demonstrations to draw attention to their cause. The act of conducting a puja on a busy highway served as a symbolic expression of their demands, attracting attention from passersby and commuters.
The Panchamasali community’s demand for inclusion in the 2A quota has been a persistent issue in Karnataka’s political landscape. They assert that their sub-sect faces socio-economic challenges and deserves the benefits of reservation to improve their prospects.
The state government has been engaged in discussions with community leaders regarding their demands, seeking a resolution that addresses the concerns of all stakeholders while adhering to legal and constitutional guidelines.
The protest puja on the national highway reflects the community’s determination to keep their demand for inclusion in the 2A category in the public eye. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of engaging in constructive dialogues and finding equitable solutions to address the concerns of marginalized communities.
As discussions continue between the Panchamasali community and government authorities, the demonstration emphasizes the need for a fair and just resolution that takes into account the aspirations and well-being of all communities in Karnataka.
