Modi’s Muslim Outreach | Hyderabad, March 25 (Maxim News): AIMIM President and Hyderabad MP, Asadduddin Owaisi who has become furious on the decision of the BJP led Karnataka government of scrapping 4 per cent to the Other Backward Classes (Muslims) in education and jobs has tweeted questioning the Prime Minister Narender Modi is it the “Muslim Outreach and Love for Pasmanda Muslims.
Asaduddin Owaisi further tweeted saying “whether it is hijab or reservation, the target is is only Muslims progress in education and employment.
It may be recalled that the BJP led Karnataka Cabinet has taken the decision of scrapping 4 per cent quota for Other Backward Classes (OBC) Muslims and announced two new categories for reservation in jobs and education.
This announcement by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai comes just a month before Assembly elections are scheduled to be held in the BJP-ruled state.
Owaisi Questions Modi’s Muslim Outreach
The 4 per cent OBC Muslim quota has been divided between the Vokkaligas and Lingayats. Muslims eligible for quota have been categorised under economically weaker sections now.
The decision, however, pushes the reservation percentage in Karnataka, which is already over the 50 per cent cap imposed by the Supreme court, to approximately 57 per cent now.
The BJP led Karnataka government has categorized backward classes into two sets – “more backward and most backward classes’.
One of the two new categories is that the quota for Vokkaligas has been raised from 5 per cent to 7 per cent. The quota for the other category which has Panchamasalis, Veerashaivas and other Lingayats, has also been increased from 5 per cent to 7 percent.
After this decision of scrapping of quota to Muslims, the break-up is as Category 1 (Backward Classes) 4 per cent, Category 2A (OBCs) 15 per cent, Category 2B none, Category 2C (Vokkaligas) 6 per cent, Category 2D (Lingayats including Panchamshali Lingayats, Marathas, Bunts, Christians) 7 per cent, SC 17 per cent and ST 7 per cent. Total is 56 per cent. (Maxim News)
