India, Sept. 11 -- The first meeting of the cabinet sub-committee for Other Backward Classes (OBC), held in Mantralaya on Wednesday, turned out to be stormy one with veteran NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal expressing strong objection to the September 2 government resolution (GR) which, among other things, focuses on issuing Kunbi certificates to Marathas so that they can avail of reservation from the OBC quota. He was supported by other OBC leaders, who are also members of the sub-committee, headed by revenue minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule.

Through the course of the meeting Bawankule agreed to the concerns raised by Bhujbal, which he said must be addressed so that fake records are not used to issue Kunbi certificates.
