Govt to do everything to implement OBC quota: FM

New Delhi, May 15 (UNI) Finance Minister P Chidambaram today said the government would do ''everything possible'' to have the 27 per cent OBC quota implemented from the current academic session (2008-09).

Mr Chidambaram made the statement, after the weekly Cabinet briefing, while responding to the queries of reporters who sought his clarification on the Calcutta High Court order staying the quota and the government approaching the Supreme Court appealing against the verdict.

The government would seek to have the High Court order upturned so that admissions could take place providing for OBC quota, he said.
