Patna: Welcoming the tabling of Mishra Commission report in the Parliament on Friday, Ex-Chief Minister of Bihar Dr. Jagannath Mishra said: “As Muslims are more backward than Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes they deserve reservation in education and jobs as per the recommendation of Ranganath Mishra Commission.”
But he slammed the government for not presenting Action Taken Report (ATR) and termed it as part of conspiracy for not to implement the report.
“This year, of Rs10,00,000 crore budget amount only Rs 1700 crore has been sanctioned for the welfare of Muslims while for Dalits Rs 38,000 crore and for SCs Rs 34,000 crore has been granted. This is enough to prove the discrimination of government towards Muslims” he added.
He said that there should be equality among Majority and Minority to identify the backward people on the basis of social, economic and educational condition and not on the basis of religion. Thus, backward Muslims should be included in SC category.
“Apart from giving Muslims 10% reservation in non-minority educational institutions and government jobs, there should be a comprehensive law under Article 30 to deal with the educational problems of Muslims effectively” he demanded.
