In a fervent appeal during a Lok Sabha debate, Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) chief Chandrashekhar demanded the implementation of a caste census to ensure social justice for India's deprived classes.
Chandrashekhar critiqued the stagnant redistribution of wealth and resources since India's independence in 1947, urging for increased reservations based on population data.
The MP from Nagina also called for the abolition of the short-term Agniveer army recruitment scheme and the reintroduction of the old pension system, citing the President's address inadequacies on private sector reservations.
