Ended Muslim quota as it was unconstitutional: Amit Shah

Hindustan Times  

The Karnataka government scrapped the 4% reservation given to Muslims as the Bharatiya Janata Party does not believe in appeasement politics, Union minister Amit Shah said on Sunday, describing the quota as constitutionally invalid. Addressing a public gathering after inaugurating the Gorata Martyrs’ Memorial and a statue of the country’s first home minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel at Gorata village, Shah also accused the Congress of not remembering those who fought and sacrificed their lives for the liberation of Hyderabad from the “brutal” rule of the Nizam. Noting that the BJP never believed in “appeasement”, Shah said that the BS Yediyurappa-led BJP government had renamed the erstwhile Hyderabad-Karnataka region Kalyana Karnataka. Terming the Karnataka government’s decision to move Muslims into the 10% EWS pool “unconstitutional”, state Congress president DK Shivakumar said “it’s the right of minorities”.
