"No reservation, no vote," its national president, Ajay Kashyap, said while addressing a gathering of community leaders in Shamli district on Saturday evening.

Appealing to members of the community to unite for the cause, Mr. Kashyap said this demand of over 70 years should be fulfilled by the Central government.
