Amid the continuing Patel quota stir in Gujarat, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on pitched for a review of the reservation policy, contending it has been used for political ends and suggesting setting up of an apolitical committee to examine who needs the facility and for how long.

He said though "interest groups" do get formed in democracy, aspirations of one section should not be met at the cost of others.

"Interest groups are formed because we have certain aspirations in democracy. At the same time, we should remember that through interest groups we should not strive to address those aspirations at the cost of others. We should have integral approach of welfare for all.

"It is sensible to realise that my interest lies in larger national interest. The government also has to be sensitive to these issues that there should not be any agitations for them," Bhagwat told Sangh mouthpiece Organiser and Panchjanya in an interview.
