In his letter, Singh said that for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, reservation in public employment is “a cornerstone of our social justice framework aimed at addressing historical injustices and promoting inclusivity”.
“Since these positions have been treated as specialised and designated as single-cadre posts, there has been no provision for reservation in these appointments.
This aspect needs to be reviewed and reformed in the context of the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s focus on ensuring social justice,” Singh said.
“I urge the UPSC to cancel the advertisement for lateral entry recruitment issued on 17.8.2024,” he said.
This step would be a significant advance in the pursuit of social justice and empowerment, Singh said.
