Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accuses government of conspiring to abolish quotas in UGC draft guidelines, stating: "This is an attempt to kill the dreams of those fighting for social justice and to eliminate the participation of the deprived sections." Congress leaders highlight concerns over vacancy rates and low representation of marginalized groups. Government responds, affirming no de-reservation of reserved posts. UGC chairperson states: "There is going to be no such de-reservation." Opposition condemns move, alleging deliberate vacancy creation. Congress leader Udit Raj asserts: "Posts of professor were being deliberately kept vacant." Controversy ensues over potential impact on social justice initiatives.
