Maha ‘scraps’ jobs reservations for Muslims, MIM to protest


Mumbai, Jan 3 (PTI): Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) will launch an agitation against Maharashtra government’s decision to scrap job reservations for Muslims. 

MIM MLA from Aurangabad, Imtiaz Jaleel and Byculla MLA Waris Pahan will also be addressing the gathering which will be attended by party workers from across the state. 

The party has asked all MIM units to submit a memorandum to respective district collectors or tehsildars on January 6 to register their protest against the state government’s indifferent attitude towards reservation for Muslims, Jaleel said.

“The state government has brought a bill in the Nagpur state legislative assembly session in December that will enable 16 per cent reservations for Marathas while refusing to bring an ordinance for continuing reservations for Muslims,” he said. 

The matter related to reservations for Muslims and Marathas is scheduled to be heard in the Bombay High Court, after the Supreme Court refused to entertain the petition of the state government. 

The party will hold a rally in Beed on January 6, to be addressed by party President Asaduddin Owaisi.

    If they really want to a job based on the caste alone they should travel to Syria or Iraq. Heavenly job awaits them with 100 percent reservation for them alone.

    India has a constitution. India is not anybody's ancestral property. Every citizen has one vote irrespective of religion. For a person who lives and is having his livelihood in a Muslim country, if he is civilized, to make such a remark is condemnable.

    ache din atleast for those eligible people who would have lost the opportunity due to reservation. but not enough. entire reservation on caste and religion should go and reservation should be given to economically downtrodden ppl irrespective or their caste and creed
