The Congress party has objected to a new census question that omits explicit mention of OBC and General categories, asking only about Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, or 'Other'. This omission, the party stated, raises doubts about the government's commitment to a fair caste census and calls for immediate dialogue with stakeholders.
