OBC reservation in the AIQ medical seats is a significant victory in the social justice journey: Kamal Haasan

In a tweet, Haasan wrote: "The fact that 27 per cent reservation is possible for OBCs in the All India Quota medical seats is a significant achievement in the social justice journey. There are still goals we need to achieve, such as the abolition of the NEET exam and the abandonment of the All India Quota." 

After protests by various political parties in the state over the denial of reservation in the AIQ medical seats, the union government has decided to implement 27 per cent reservation for OBC under the AIQ for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes from this academic year.
