">SHRI RAJA PARAMASIVAM(PUDUKKOTTAI): Hob'ble Chairman I would like to express first of all my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Puratchi Thalaivi (Revolutionaly Leader), the champion of social justice and our able leader with a mass appeal who lives in our hearts. I profusely thank her for having sent me to this august House, the House of the People.

Let me also express my deep gratitude to the people of my Pudukkottai constituency for electing me to represent them in this august House.

We are completing soon the celebrations of the fiftieth year of our Indian independence. At this point of time I have got an opportunity to render my maiden speech on an important Bill pertaining to the social justice. I would like to thank the Chair for providing me with an opportunity to speak on this momentous occasion.

SHRI RAJA PARAMASIVAM : I would like to point out that our leaser Dr. Puratchi Thalaivi went beyond the 50% limit to 69% of reservation. She also obtained Constitutional safeguard and protection to that legislation. But I am pained to point out that the judicial interventions are still coming up. For instance, it has become a recurent feature during the commencement of every academic year. Courts intervene to fix the number of seats during the admission made in professional institutions like the medical colleges and engineering colleges. For the past two years DMK is in power in the State. They were part of the Government at the Centre too. But they have not taken any positive step to put an end to this menace and to ensure the smooth sailing of this 69% of reservation in booth the jobs and admission of students in educational institutions.
