Restrain politics of reservation: BJP

Itanagar, Dec 19 (UNI) The Arunachal Pradesh unit of BJP condemned Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh's remarks on the minorities and asked the Congress-led UPA government to restrain from politics of religion-based reservation.

The party yesterday submitted a memorandum to Governor S K Singh urging him to take up the matter for the larger interest of the people, sources here today said.

Earlier in the day, the party had organised a massive dharna- cum- demonstration in front of the state secretariat as a part of the party's anti-communal appeasement campaign in the state and demanded apology from Dr Singh over his remarks.
