[RxPG] New Delhi, March 30 - The government Friday said there would be no compromise with its commitment to securing social justice for weaker sections and it would go ahead with the implementation of reservation for backward classes in higher educational institutions.

The Supreme Court, disposing of petitions challenging the reservation law, based on old data, stayed till August its implementation, saying the situation had changed since 1931 when the census was completed.

In a late evening statement, the Human Resource Development ministry said that the 93rd amendment to the Constitution, adopted with near unanimity by parliament, 'provides for equity in access to higher education for the weaker sections - the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes and the Other Backward Classes'.

The United Progressive Alliance - government is committed to making appropriate laws in this regard. The boundaries of such laws are laid down in the constitutional provision of Article 15-.

'The Central Educational Institutions - Act of Parliament is, therefore, in discharge of this commitment of the UPA government,' the ministry said.

The UPA Coordination Committee and the Left Parties had resolved on the 23rd May, 2006, that the '93rd Amendment to the Constitution, providing for reservations in educational institutions, will be implemented by the Central Government in letter and spirit'.

'Taking note of the recent developments, we reiterate the UPA government's resolve to ensure that there is no compromise with this commitment towards social justice,' the statement added.

It further said the government was weighing all legal options available. The UPA allies, the Left Parties and other political parties will also be consulted on the issue at the earliest.
