NO GOING-BACK ON MUSLIM QUOTA: GEETA

The Minister for Information and Public Relations, Dr Geeta Reddy, on Monday asserted that the state government would not go back on the four per cent reservations provided to the Muslim minorities.

Reacting to the Monday's High Court ruling, Dr Geeta Reddy said the Congress government was committed to ensure reservation to Muslim minorities.

The CPI-M state secretary, Mr B V Raghavulu, stated that the seven-member Bench of the High Court annulling the reservation for Muslim minorities in education and employment was very painful.

Reacting to the High Court judgement, the CPI-M leader demanded that the state government challenge the ruling in the Apex Court and obtain a stay on the operation of the High Court ruling immediately.

SHABBIR ALI SAD

The senior Congress leader and former minister, Mr Shabbir Ali, expressed his grief over the High Court setting aside the government's legislation providing for four per cent reservation to the Muslim minorities.

Claiming that there were poorest of poor among the Muslims in the state, Mr Ali recalled that the late chief minister, Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, who had realized the pitiable condition of the Muslims, took pains and provided quota for Muslims in education and employment on humanitarian grounds. But, the High Court striking down the government order was very sad, he added.

Mr Shabbir Ali urged the Chief Minister, Mr K Rosaiah, to cause another survey by the BC Commission on the economic conditions of the Muslims all over the state and go in appeal to the Supreme Court.

LAL JAN BASHA BLAMES CONGRESS

The senior Telugu Desam leader, Mr Lal Jan Basha, on Monday blamed the Congress government for the imbroglio on the Muslim reservations.

Talking to media persons, Mr Basha pointed out that all political parties in the state had supported the move when the previous Chandrababu Naidu government earmarked three per cent reservation to the Muslim minorities. In spite of knowing very well that it would be unconstitutional, the late chief minister, Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, raised the quota to four per cent, as part of vote bank politics, and caused its annulment, he added.

Meanwhile, the Muslim Forum announced that it would organise dharnas at Collectorates in all the districts from Tuesday in protest against the High Court judgment on Muslim reservations.

The Forum stated that its activists would wear black badges and protest before the Collectorates.
