I have no objection to a social-educational survey. If the Supreme Court has directed it, let it happen.

But can 6.5 crore people really be surveyed in just 15 days and that too during Navaratri? Are festivals and duties only for the government, not for teachers, anganwadi workers, and officials?

This is not the right time. Postpone it or extend the timeline.

Citizens deserve an honest, objective survey, not another wasted report draining taxpayers’ money.

At least 3 months are essential to conduct it in stages. A hasty survey helps no one. What we need is a fair exercise that leaves no community behind. If not, those driving this flawed process must be held accountable:
