Earlier a meeting with the representative of the chief minister was held on August 22. The main demand of the general category welfare federation is to appoint a chairperson and members of the Punjab State General Category Commission established for the welfare of the general category so that problems of general categories are resolved in a time-bound manner.
The other demand of the general category welfare federation is that the benefit of reservation to the people who have become prosperous and crossed the poverty limit should not be extended. The reservation should be based on economic criteria and not on the basis of caste. The federation also demands that the reserved constituencies should be rotated so that people from the general category can also contest from these constituencies and vice versa.
