Reservations

The reservation pot boils again. I have already written on this earlier so won't delve into the details at the moment again. I do have a suggestion though. Shouldn't our politicians set an example first?
Parliament should immediately enact a legislation to reserve equivalent proportion in both the houses of Parliament. That ways politically too the castes shall be empowered. Merely reserving seats in educational institutes is not enough. We must have reservations in Parliament, Cabinet, ministers, appointed chiefs of PSUs. Since there is a consensus in all parties on this, parties must also reserve the same proportion in its own office bearers. Until this is done, Mssers MM Singhs will always be viewed as mere devisive politicians, if they do this, I for one might believe they are doing this actually out of ideology.
