According to news agency PTI, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) working president Alok Kumar said on Monday (March 07) that the seminar organized jointly by the media wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and other organizations has concluded that The benefit of reservation should not be given to such Dalits who have converted to Islam, Christianity or any other religion.

Conclave held in Greater Noida
