This, according to the protesters, <strong>disregards the original Foti Quota law<\/strong> passed on <strong>March 28, 1974, under Rule 11-A of the Sindh Assembly<\/strong>, which provided reserved employment rights for Foti candidates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The protesters stated that <strong>the current system is discriminatory<\/strong>, treating the children of Foti employees unfairly and giving them <strong>secondary consideration<\/strong>, while other quotas like <strong>Shaheed, Disabled, Women, Minority, and MP\u2019s children quotas<\/strong> are fully implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They emphasized that the <strong>Supreme Court<\/strong> only discussed <strong>Article 25 (merit)<\/strong> in relation to the Foti Quota and <strong>did not cancel the quota or issue a directive to end it<\/strong>.
