Singer Remo Fernandes opposes reservation
PANAJI: Opposing reservation for OBCs in elite educational institutions, renowned singer Remo Fernandes has called for setting up of good schools for children belonging to the deprived section of the society.
"It's pathetic that these classes have still remained backward decades after independence. This has happened because our governments have failed to uplift them by providing good schools and colleges which would have ensured that they become eligible for professional seats through merit," Remo said.
The noted singer, who penned several articles against reservation in educational institutions, said tax payer's money should be spent properly to uplift the backward section of the society.
"These backward classes are still maimed and raped and enslaved by higher castes, and yet no finger is raised to stop all these" he said adding that government does nothing to protect the interests of the tribals.
On anti-quota strike by the doctors, Remo said "It is easy to say that doctors should never go on strike and that their profession is noble. But does our government treat them with respect?"

I love Remo's music that I've heard on Live 365 Radio Stations.
Do you know where I can buy his CDs? We don't have them here in the US. :-(
Thanks.
