In the light of the Supreme Court judgment on Maratha reservation issue, the AIADMK on Thursday urged the Tamil Nadu government to consult legal experts to ensure that the 69% reservation in vogue in the State is not affected.
In a joint statement, AIADMK leaders O. Panneerselvam and Edappadi K. Palaniswami referred to the apex court's judgment and said it might pose a danger to the reservation scheme in force in the State.
They recalled the efforts taken by late AIADMK leader and former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa over protecting the 69% reservation scheme in Tamil Nadu.
