Parliament should assert its supremacy: CPI

Chennai, April 25 (PTI): Parliament should assert its sovereignty and supremacy by initiating measures to implement 27 per cent reservation for OBCs in elite educational institutions from this year itself, Tamil Nadu CPI secretary D Pandian said on Tuesday.

Further appeals in courts on the issue would not yield any result, he told reporters and sought convening the joint session of Parliament which should use its full powers to implement reservation.
<b>
The Centre should stop the usual admission procedure in central educational institutions and take over the responsibility, he said, adding a committee of educationalists should be formed to admit students for such institutions</b>.

Welcoming Chief Minister M Karunanidhi's letter to the Prime Minister on the issue, Pandian said all parties should unite to protect reservation rights and social justice.
