Congress leader Anand Sharma opposed the ‘caste census’, saying it is ‘disrespect to the former prime minister – Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi’s legacy’.
The former Union minister wrote a letter to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge expressing his reservation on the caste census.
“…In my considered view, a Caste Census cannot be a panacea nor a solution for the unemployment and prevailing inequalities,” he asserted in his letter.
“In my humble opinion, this will be misconstrued as disrespecting the legacy of Indira ji and Rajiv ji..,” the letter added.
