About the 'Reservation Hatao Andolan'

The meeting comes after a demonstration at Jantar Mantar on August 21 under the banner of Reservation Hatao Andolan (RHA), where protesters demanded changes to the existing caste-based reservation system and called for a review of the policy.

Reservation Hatao Andolan (RHA) is an official Instagram page, which has 5.6 million followers. The platform rapidly gained traction by adopting the protest-mobilisation tactics of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and has now called for a physical protest against the reservation system. (ANI)
