Kasaragod, Jan 11: “Reservation should allow all the communities in the country to develop equally and it will bring social justice”, said A P Aboobakkar Musliyar, general secretary, Sunni Jamyithul Ulama, Kantapuram, at the 40th annual conference of Jamia Sadiya Arabiya Instituitons at Deli, near here.
Speaking on the occasion, Musliyar said that reservation through the constitution has existed in India from the past 59 years but it is not given to backward communities to help them reach the level of the majority community.
“Twenty percent of the majority community in India has covered 60 percent of employment, but the backward community, which is more in ratio is just enjoying 20 percent of jobs in government departments”, he said.
“The reservation proposed in Kerala on the basis of economical background is not good”, Musliyar said, adding that each community should be given social justice with equality.
He also expressed his resentment against the statements blaming terrorism on the Muslim community and said that the entire community should not be blamed for the mistakes of a few.
“The terrorists cannot be controlled by law but it can be done with the help of religious education and through teaching morality”, said Musliyar.
The students of Jamiya Sa-adiyya Arabic College were presented certificates in the convocation ceremony. The five-day programme began on Wednesday January 6 and ended with the convocation.
Religious leaders, Ulemas from Kerala and Karnataka states, were also present on the occasion. An exhibition ‘Exotica-10’, was also arranged at the venue.
