Caste, a matter in sports too
Hyderabad, July 27: Sports organisations, associations and
sportspersons are angry over the State government's attempt to include
sports quota under the caste reservation's purview in the Eamcet
medical counselling.
Protestors have threatened to move the High Court if the government
implements sports quota under various caste quotas terming it
"Horizontal reservations." They fear the government's decision will
upset sportspersons and have a negative impact on their performance in
the national and international competitions. "Sports quota is to
encourage students to take up sports. Government says it is committed
to encourage sports but on other hand it is corrupting it through
backdoor methods," said an official of AP Physical Teachers
Association.
