Muslim Quota: PM Modi, Amit Shah have no right to scrap: Shabbir Ali
- Shabbir Ali to file contempt petition in Supreme Court
Muslim Quota | Hyderabad, April 26 (Maxim News): Reacting strongly on the statement made by the Union Home Minister Amit Shah yesterday in the public meeting that 4 per cent reservations of Muslims will be abolished, the Advisor to the Telangana government Mohammed Ali Shabbir on friday said that Muslim reservation case is pending in the Supreme Court, and a constitutional Bench of the apex court will hear it.
However, he said that he has spoken with the Supreme Court lawyer to take up the issue in the Court and urged the Supreme Court to take up the issue on suo-moto also.
“Until the Supreme court gives its final verdict, neither Union Home Minister Amit Shah nor any other BJP leader can scrap the 4 per cent Muslim reservation in the two Telugu states, said Shabbir Ali
He made it clear that the 4 per cent Muslim quota was not given based on religion but on socio economic backwardness, and not the entire community but only 14 identified groups were getting the benefit due to their backwardness established by the BC Commission’s report.

“Also, the 4 per cent Muslim quota was within the prescribed 50 per cent ceiling cap by the Supreme court as per the Indra Sawhney Judgment. Most importantly, the Muslim quota was given separately without reducing the reservation percentage of other communities, he said.
It has become a habit for Amit Shah to speak against 4 per cent Muslim reservation on his every visit to Telangana. Even Amit Shah knows that the BJP will not come to power in Telangana in near future. He is only trying to mislead the people with promises like scrapping the Muslim quota.
Shabbir Ali once again warned that he would file a petition in the court against Amit Shah and others seeking orders to restrict their comments on the 4 percent Muslim quota, which is pending in the Supreme Court.
About the CAA notification released by the Centre, Shabbir Ali said that with just a week left to release the schedule for the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP Government has issued the notification for the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) This is nothing but a political stunt by the BJP to implement an unconstitutional four year old law. Muslims should not panic as the congress has already announced its opposition to CAA, NRC and NPR, he said. (Maxim News)
