Union Minister Chirag Paswan says reservation is a constitutional right that cannot be abolished
- Union Minister Chirag Paswan said reservation "cannot be ended at anyone's demand, nor is it charity given to anyone," amid protests demanding its abolition.
- He called reservation a constitutional right meant to support communities that have faced generations of social discrimination, not a discretionary concession.
- Paswan's remarks came amid an anti-reservation student protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi.
- He said the government would hold talks with the protesters, stressing that demands alone cannot end the reservation system.
