Congress calls CWC meeting on Centre’s surprise caste census decision after 11 years

The Congress Working Committee (CWC) will meet on Friday to deliberate the Union government’s decision to include caste enumeration in the next national census, party sources said on Thursday. The meeting, scheduled for 4 PM at the Congress headquarters on 24 Akbar Road, comes two days after the Centre announced that caste details would be recorded in the next population census — the first such move since Independence.
