The Left parties on Wednesday made a strong plea in the Rajya Sabha for a legislation to provide job reservation for dalits in the private sector. Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Brinda Karat (CPI-M) said thousands of dalits were in the capital to press the demands against discrimination and for reservation in private sector jobs.
Associating himself with the demand, Communist Party of India leader D. Raja sought a legislation for enforcing job quota in the private sector.

Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Sitaram Yechury, who initiated the debate, said he was not convinced by the Minister’s reply. “In an honourable way we [the government] can tell the world that the majority is not with us,” he said

Communist Party of India (Marxist) MP and Polit Bureau member Sitaram Yechury
described Mr. Modi’s speech as “shameful” and said that “even if a person was a
known criminal, it was not for the Chief Minister to decide his fate; not even
the Prime Minister can do that.”
His party colleague Brinda Karat said Mr. Modi clearly thought that he was above
the law.“He has virtually admitted to killing [Sohrabuddin]. The court should take suo motu notice. There should be no double standards. After all, the court takes notice of demonstration and traffic lights. This was also a fit case for action by the Election Commission,” she said.
CPI leader Gurudas Dasgupta said: “This is barbaric. He has spoken not like a politician but like a criminal. The law should take immediate action.”
