Kurien said the minister has given "a very clear reply"

and so there was no reason for the protests. "Your concern is very genuinue. I agree. (But) Minister has very categorically replied," he said.

As the protests continued, he said, "the minister said in Hindi. May be you don't understand (that). You haven't understood what Minister said."

Gehlot repeated again that the Prime Minister has said several times that the government has been a supporter of reservation for SCs, STs and OBCs and will continue to remain.

"A decision to provide constitutional status to the OBC commission has been taken," he said.

But as the protests continued, Kurien was forced to adjourn the House for 10 minutes.
