PM Modi lashes out at 'fraud' committed by TMC govt by granting OBC status to only Muslim groups
Days after the Calcutta High Court cancelled an estimated 5 lakh Other Backward Classes certificates issued mostly to Muslims by the West Bengal government since 2010, PM Modi has hit out at the ruling TMC government. But what is even more unfortunate is that for vote bank politics, now they are also abusing the judiciary…This situation cannot be acceptable under any circumstances: PM Modi… pic.twitter.com/JFmQd7V9ZC — ANI May 28, 2024 It must be mentioned that Mamata Banerjee had earlier announced that she would not follow the verdict of the Calcutta High Court and continue to grant OBC reservations to groups that are now invalid. The Calcutta High Court also noted that the West Bengal government committed “fraud on the Constitutional power of the State” by enacting the West Bengal Backward Classes Act, 2012 and excluding the role of Commission in the identification of new OBCs. The Calcutta High Court also came down heavily on the West Bengal government for treatment of Muslims as a ‘political commodity’ and exploiting them for electoral gains.
