Nepali Congress leader Min Bishwakarma has argued that there is no Dalit quota in Nepal. Amidst comments on social media calling for 'abolish the Dalit quota', Bishwakarma, a former minister, has clarified that there is no separate quota or reservation for Dalits in Nepal.

 'For some years, among the so-called educated youth, and especially among the Dalit community, there has been a demand to abolish the participation of the Dalit community, like the other seven communities guaranteed by the Constitution of Nepal, by calling it a "Dalit quota". This has created great confusion in society and national politics,' said Bishwakarma, 'There is no reservation or quota system in the political and administrative sector of Nepal. Because private or public opportunities or facilities that are given only to one or two castes, religions, regions, genders or sects are called reservations. And when it is implemented, quotas are determined. But in Nepal, reservations have not been given to Dalits or to one community and class, all communities have taken reservations. More non-Dalits are getting them than Dalits.'

According to him, an inclusive system has been adopted in public and government opportunities in Nepal. According to which, 40 percent of the total opportunities in all opportunities are considered as 100 percent, and arrangements have been made to represent inclusive groups - Khas Arya, Janajati, women, Madhesi, Dalit, Tharu, Muslims, backward regions and the disabled. 

He said that the system for inclusive representation was being abused in the name of Dalit quota. 'This opportunity did not come easily. It came through the 2063 Constitution through decades of struggle and movement by every caste, religion, gender, region and community except Khas Arya. This policy was adopted to transform Nepal into an inclusive state system, saying that there was a single caste dominance,' he said, 'This policy has been implemented to establish sustainable peace in the country by integrating the community that has been suffering from injustice, atrocities, discrimination and exploitation due to the long history of discriminatory governance into the mainstream of the state. This opportunity is very rare for the victimized community.'
