Chennai, March 3 : Leader of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) and Member of Parliament Thirumavalavan has said that the AIADMK government in Tamil Nadu is creating fissures among the people of the state by providing 10.5% reservation for the Vanniyar community under the Most Backward Classes (MBC) quota for government jobs and admissions to educational institutions.
He also lashed out at the Pattali Makkal Katchi(PMK) which is the political outfit of the Vanniyar community and asked whether the demand of the party for 20% reservation to the community was a hoax.

Bench to await judgment in Maratha quota case
The Supreme Court on Wednesday deferred hearing a challenge to the Tamil Nadu reservation law, which allows 69% quota in State government jobs and educational institutions.
A Bench of Justices Ashok Bhushan and R. Subhash Reddy decided to wait till a Constitution Bench pronounces its judgment in the Maratha quota case.
The five-judge Constitution Bench, also led by Justice Bhushan, is scheduled from March 8 to examine the validity of the Maharashtra State Reservation for Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC) Act of 2018. By including the Maratha community for quota benefits, the Maharashtra law, like Tamil Nadu’s legislation, has crossed the 50% ceiling limit and touched 65%.
