Lalu Prasad clarifies Muslim reservation remark: ‘Based on backwardness, not religion’

Former Bihar chief minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav rebuffed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's allegations that the INDIA bloc aimed to shift reservation from backward communities to Muslims and asserted that quota in jobs and education is granted based on social backwardness, not religion. Earlier in the day, PM Modi attacked Lalu Prasad after the RJD leader said that “Muslims should get a reservation in full”. At a rally in Madhya Pradesh, Modi said, “The person, a key ally of INDIA bloc, who is convicted in fodder scam and out on bail, has today said Muslims should get a reservation. They are saying 400-plus to induce psychological pressure, they won't even cross 200.” “They want to end reservation, they are against backwards and Dalits,” Lalu said.
