Karnataka CMO: No Proposal on Muslim Reservation

Deccan Chronicle  

The Karnataka Chief Minister's Office on Tuesday responded to media reports claiming that the state government was considering a proposal for Muslim reservation in jobs, calling the reports "another new lie. However, it has been clarified that there is no proposal before the government in this regard," the CMO added.Meanwhile, on Saturday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticised the Congress over the issue of Muslim reservation.Speaking at a rally in Palamu, Jharkhand, Shah claimed that the Congress party was attempting to reduce the reservation limits for OBCs, Dalits, and Tribals to provide reservations for Muslims. He also called Congress an "anti-OBC" party, accusing them of injustice to the OBC community in the past.Adding fuel to the fire, the National Commission for Backward Classes had earlier in April raised concerns over the Karnataka government's decision to categorize the entire Muslim community as OBCs. According to NCBC Chairman Hansraj Gangaram Ahir, while 36 Muslim castes are included under the OBC category for reservations, there is also an additional 4 percent reservation granted to Muslims under different categories.
