RE:The heading is incorrect...

You often hear Central Ministers for quota, saying 'No one above law .. and Law will take its Course etc.).
The Central Govt, especially whenever Congress rules, Supreme Court rulings are to be applied for Hindus and mainly upper castes. If this ruling were given against Brahmins and other upper castes, then all the ministers would have sung in chorus to apply them. The likes of Arundhati Roy, Brinda Karat and Shabana Azmis will be nowhere in the news.
But in situations like this one, the Law will be bypassed by a consitiutional amendment. Recall what Rajiv did in Shah Bano case.
This is what Arjun Singh means when he says 'All options will be explored'.
