BJP pledges to abolish special quota for Muslims in Telegana

HYDERABAD :  The government of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in India is not missing any opportunity to snatch the rights of minorities, especially Muslims.

According to Kashmir Media Service, BJP leader and Indian Home Minister Amit Shah, while campaigning for the state assembly elections in Telangana, said if the BJP comes to power in the state, the special quota for Muslims will be abolished and it will be given to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

Muslim reservation in government jobs and education was unconstitutional and that if voted to power in Telangana his party would scrap the quota, he said, adding Telangana is the only state which gives reservation on the basis of religion and if BJP comes to power in the state, it will be abolished.

It should be mentioned that since the BJP government led by Modi came to power in India, atrocities against minorities, especially Muslims, have increased manifold in the country.
